While the overall unemployment rate is slowly going down, for one section of the workforce, the unemployment rate remains unchanged. For people who are do not have their High School Diploma or its equivalency the unemployment rate is three times higher than the national average. Today's employers are looking for more educated and trained employees. In order to get out of this rut, it is important that we gain the training we need to get the jobs that will provide a better way of life. A high school diploma, or equivalent such as the GED should not be the end of one's education, in fact it should be the key that opens the door to more opportunities.
By earning a GED or High School diploma a person can begin a training program for machining, or nursing. Once a student has completed a certification process, they can seek a job that is in demand and will pay good wages. Why stay in the same cycle of being underemployed, in other words working a job that doesn't pay enough to provide for a way of life? With a high school diploma or GED a person can start on the path towards a better life.
Don't wait, now is the time to answer the call of opportunity.
