We focused on Chicago and Houston, and worked with local ambassadors to interview 200 community members. Now we're ready to share our findings. Join us for a virtual conversation on Nov. 12 at 2 EST: https://bit.ly/4hlhXVM Our research on life after high school is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York and American Student Assistance.

President & CEO at American Student Assistance | Author | Top 10 edTech Influencers to Watch in 2025
When it comes to young people who participate in #nondegreepathways, it's imperative that we take a close look at the results they're seeing—and how satisfied they are with their chosen paths. This past summer at #JFFHorizons, we announced the American Student Assistance Center for Career Navigation at Jobs for the Future (JFF), focused on helping youth traverse the many options before them, with a goal of helping to simplify the often-complex landscape of career navigation. The insights in the piece below underscore why we decided to launch the Center with JFF by leaning into firsthand accounts of young people who pursued a nondegree pathway, and the relative successes they've seen as a result. #careernavigation #careerexploration #pathways #
