Announcements and Events

VSAC hosts College & Career Pathways Program - Add career pathways to VSAC’s perennially popular College Pathways events at Saint Michael’s, Northern Vermont University-Johnson and Castleton University. New workshop paths allow high school families to focus on the topics that matter most to them. All Vermonters must continue their education and training after high school – it just doesn’t mean it’s a 2- or 4-year degree. Internships, apprenticeships, certificate programs also lead to good careers and life opportunities. You choose; we’ve got it covered. Check out all the details and sign up for one of the three half-day events here.
