Enrollments in vocational-focused community colleges were up by 16% in 2023, indicating a shift away from traditional college paths towards trade careers.
Trade jobs are seen as a financially secure alternative to a college degree as college costs rise, student debt accumulates, and job opportunities become scarce for graduates.
"Society has more or less dictated that college and a corporate job are the only paths to success," said Clint DeBoer of Pro Tools Reviews, emphasizing the shift towards recognizing trade jobs as lucrative career options.
