Your Guide to Building a Career Without a College Degree

About The Book

We have been living in a world where having a college degree is an expectation of employment for most positions. As a high school graduate without a college degree, have you felt that your outlook on employment and earning potential has been grim? Do you have a passion for something but don't want to go through the traditional route of education? Do you have to work to support yourself and funds for school are limited?

I am happy to report that the world is once again in a period of change. In 2016, 40% of companies globally reported talent shortages. More employers than ever are turning to training and development to address the gaps. In fact, the Chairman and CEO of Manpower Group, Jonas Prising, has been quoted saying, "We have seen a marked rise in the number of businesses focusing on training and development to fill the talent gaps. We expect the number to grow. That is why we support companies and individuals to nurture learnability - the desire and ability to learn new skills to be employable for the long-term."

This is a subject near and dear to my heart. My fervid hope is to be the spark of inspiration you need to get started and soar! With that, I wish you success and lots of adventure!
