Why are more people choosing trade school over a traditional college degree?

Certification programs like ours are increasing in popularity because they lead to jobs quickly.

As trade schools become more common, it is important to seek information from a trusted and established program. “It takes a lot of time and energy to successfully finish a training program,” says John Scalise, CEO and president of Job Point. “If you’re going to invest all of that into a course, make sure it will actually lead to a great job when you graduate.”
There are many opportunities for career advancement in trades, so it is important to choose a training program that will put you on the path toward success. “Anyone interested in signing up or learning more about our courses should contact Job Point,” Scalise says. “We are always here to talk with you about your options and to help identify what scholarships or grants are available.” Scalise says he has always loved helping people, holding a variety of roles in social services for over 30 years. “Job Point is by far my favorite job,” he says. “There are tangible results to the services we provide. Job Point has so many paths to employment. These programs have the potential to change lives.”
The most rewarding part of the job for Scalise is watching the transformation of the students. “You can see their growth while in the programs and the excitement when they finally obtain employment,” he says. “Job Point is like a big family and past students frequently return to share about their experiences and success.”
