Episode 11: Pathways after High School, Part 2
In part 1 we discussed different pathways after high school and being undecided. In part 2, we continue our journey on options after high school and connect with 2 different Gap year programs and a Career opportunity with an environmental field focus to discuss: If you have an idea of what you want to do, which path will help you reach your goals? Join Kyle as he connects with Adrienne Amell (Manager of Recruiting at Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa), Matt Young (Marketing Representative at NOLS), Alison Nyenhuis (Education Manager at Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness), and Franci (12th grade student at Patrick Henry) as they talk through different pathway options through the lens of outdoor and environmental career fields.
