Things We Wish We Learned in School
Why did nobody teach us how to do our taxes, budget our money, or make a decent meal? 😂 In this episode of Mic CHEC, Nic and Sydney talk about the things they wish they had learned in school... and put Nic to the test with some real-life #adulting scenarios. From explaining a credit score in 20 seconds to figuring out what they'd do when the car won't start, Nic and Sydney are finding out just how prepared they actually are for adulthood.
Worst Career Advice We’ve Ever Heard
"Follow your passion." "Pick something stable." "Never leave your job." We've all heard career advice like this, but is it actually GOOD advice? 🤔 In this episode of Mic CHEC, Nic and Sydney break down some of the worst career advice they've ever heard and talk about why some common advice doesn't work for everyone. From choosing a career based solely on money to feeling like you need your entire future figured out at 18, we're questioning some of the advice people hear when trying to figure out their careers.
Busting Common College Myths
How many things have you heard about college that you just… believed? In this episode of Mic CHEC, Nic and Sydney are busting some of the biggest myths about college and education. Do you really need to know your major before you start college? Does everyone need a four-year degree? Is trade school really “higher education”? And can you actually get a good job without a bachelor's degree? The truth is, there isn't one path that works for everyone. Whether you're considering college, trade school, workforce training, certifications, or something else entirely, understanding your options is the first step.
Careers You Didn’t Know Existed
What do you want to be when you grow up? 🤔 It sounds like a simple question... until you realize just how many careers are out there. In this episode of Mic CHEC, Nic and Sydney explore some careers you might not even know exist, from underwater welding and food science to theme park design and GIS. The point? You don't have to choose from a list of careers you've already heard of. Exploring new possibilities could lead you toward a career that actually fits your interests, skills, and goals.
What the Heck is Workforce Training?
You've probably heard the phrase "workforce training" before, but what does it actually mean? In this episode of Mic CHEC, Nic and Sydney break down workforce training in simple terms. They talk about what workforce training can look like, who it's for, how it connects education to careers, and why there isn't just one path to building a successful career.
Do I Actually Need College?
Is college the only path to a successful career? Spoiler: nope. In this episode of Mic CHEC with Nic and Sydney, we tackle one of the biggest questions students face after high school: Do I actually need college? Nic and Sydney break down the different paths you can take after high school from four-year colleges and community colleges to trade schools, certifications, apprenticeships, and workforce training. They also talk about when a college degree is necessary, why college can still be a great choice, and how to figure out which path makes the most sense for you.
So What Does The Hi-Ed Actually Do?
In our very first episode, Nic and Sydney break it down; no fancy jargon required. From college programs and workforce training to career opportunities and discovering what's next, Corry Hi-Ed is here to help connect people in our community with opportunities to learn, grow, and build their future. And no, you don’t have to be fresh out of high school or even know exactly what you want to do. Whether you’re thinking about going back to school, learning a new skill, changing careers, or simply wondering what opportunities are available in Corry, we’re here to help you figure out what’s next.
