What Else Do You Got? When the Degree Isn’t the Standard Anymore

Less than a third of Americans believe you need a bachelor’s degree for financial security, and just 50% of Gen Z teens are considering a four-year degree. Instead, many learners today are seeing non-college pathways to opportunity, including apprenticeships, bootcamps, and professional certifications. In this session, we will work collaboratively with attendees to detail why more Americans are choosing non-college pathways, what types of pathways are better meeting specific segment needs, and how higher education institutions can adapt.
