Vermont Business Magazine US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) will deliver the keynote address at VSAC’s College and Career event at the Johnson State College campus of Northern Vermont University on Saturday morning. “This will be a great opportunity for high school students and their families to learn more about what kind of post-high school training is needed for the jobs that are available in our changing economy,” said Sanders, who serves on the Senate education committee.
By 2020, two-thirds of all jobs in Vermont will require some education beyond a high school degree. “That could mean a two-year associate degree, a certificate or credential program, or a skilled trades apprenticeship. Or, it could mean a four-year college degree,” said Sanders. “That is why it is critically important that students and their families have the information to make the best choices for the future.”
VSAC’s College and Career event will feature a half-day of free college and career workshops covering a wide range of options.
