Earn As You Learn: Exploring Careers in Building Trades
Perfect for all high school students and parents

Wednesday, November 5 at 5:30 pm – Tune in on the ICAN YouTube channel or REGISTER

Education and training beyond high school is essential for many students. A four year degree is not. There are many career opportunities after high school that do not require a four-year degree. In today’s webinar we will explore the different career opportunities that exist through registered apprenticeship programs and talk about how today’s students can begin their journey towards a professional career without seeking a degree or taking on student loans.
