A college degree is a great goal, but it is not necessary for many manufacturing and skilled trades careers. You may even be able to earn an industry-recognized certificate in these highly-regarded skills in a year or less - even before you finish high school. More training leads to more certificates, and even bigger paychecks. And, you will have the opportunity to minimize college debt or avoid it altogether.
Northeast Indiana has several places where you can learn manufacturing and skills needed in the construction trades. Check out the MADEBYME training partner closest to you - or the one that best suits your needs - and talk with your school counselor about how to access those training programs.
