A good read from Bridge Online Magazine. Helping high school students and parents understand what choices are available and options might be best for them. "Middle Colleges" are a good option for many young people and create need partnerships between K-12 school districts and colleges/universities. Good opportunity to begin first year of trade options at a college or university during your senior high school year. Good job placement after the second year at the college. Also many students in these programs find out they can really do "college" and continue on at the college/university to get the baccalaureate degree. Often they do this while continuing to work in their trade, earning a good salary and avoiding college student debt. Good for them, good for their employers and good for America. article below is a good read on this topic.
