“While many students pursue career paths that require four years or more of college, we see tremendous salary growth and future demand in careers that do not require a bachelor’s degree,” said Todd Wilson, SkillPointe Founder. “In fact, some fast-growing careers that only require a certificate or license now pay more than careers that require a four-year degree. In addition, accelerated training options are often available through local community colleges, trade schools and employer apprenticeships, for a fraction of the cost of a four-year program.”
These careers are not only for young adults entering the workforce. Career changers of all ages are using SkillPointe to explore the best local jobs and flexible training options that fit the busy lives of working families. “We are now living through the Great Resignation,” said James Franchi, SkillPointe CEO, “People are resigning from jobs at record levels for a variety of reasons, including low salaries that may not be keeping up with rising inflation. Skilled careers that offer robust salary growth, fast training and future job security are a very attractive option.”
