1. High School and Beyond Planning
WOIS: Get a “Reality Check”
This is the first of three presentations targeted for the high school senior.

2. What will you do after high school?
TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE
Fifty years ago jobs in the U.S. required only a high school education or less.
But today, very few jobs accept people without education or training after high school.
In the future, college will be even more important: nearly all of the fastest growing occupations require postsecondary education.
TO EARN A GOOD LIVING
A person with a college degree or post-secondary education typically earns more money than someone with only a high school diploma.
Someone with a college degree is also much less likely to be unemployed.
TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Reaching your dream probably requires more education after high school.
You may need a one-year certificate program from a technical college.
You may need an apprenticeship program.
You may need a two-year associate’s degree from a community college.
You may need a four-year bachelor’s degree.
Or you may need advanced education beyond college.
No matter what your dream, there is a program for you.
