Show Notes

The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to success is becoming increasingly outdated. Dr. Michelle Van Noy, Associate Research Professor and Director of the Education and Employment Research Center (EERC) at Rutgers University, joins host Jason Altmire to explore the expanding world of alternative education pathways. From non-credit programs and short-term credentials to community college career training, Dr. Van Noy discusses how student decision-making is shaped by geography, industry needs, and field-specific constraints. She also highlights the critical need for better data to understand which programs truly deliver results.
