College Pathways

Students interested in continuing their education after high school can explore options such as:

  • Community Colleges
  • California State Universities (CSU)
  • University of California (UC)
  • Private and out-of-state colleges

College pathways offer opportunities to earn degrees, transfer to four-year universities, and pursue a wide range of careers.

Career & Technical Pathways

Not all careers require a four-year degree. Students can explore:

  • Career Technical Education (CTE) programs
  • Trade schools and apprenticeships
  • Certifications and hands-on training programs

These pathways prepare students for in-demand careers and allow them to enter the workforce with valuable skills.

Military & Service Pathways

Students may also consider service-based options, including:

  • Military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard)
  • Reserve and National Guard opportunities

These pathways provide structured training, career experience, educational benefits, and opportunities for personal growth.

Explore Your Options

Students are encouraged to:

  • Meet with their counselor regularly
  • Use career exploration tools like O*net
  • Participate in internships, job shadowing, or volunteer work
  • Research programs that match their interests and goals
