After high school, there are lots of different paths you can take—it’s all about what works best for you and your goals. You might choose to keep learning, start working, or try a mix of both. No matter what you decide, there are supports and resources to help you along the way.
Some options include:
4-year college or university
Community or technical college
Trade or vocational training (like welding, cosmetology, or construction)
Getting a job
Apprenticeship (learn and earn at the same time)
Military
Job training or transition programs
Taking a gap year (time to explore, work, or plan next steps)
Independent living (living on your own or with support)
