Governor Josh Shapiro(@GovernorShapiro):We can’t act like a four-year degree is the only way our kids will be able to find a good-paying job that excites them. That’s just not the case. The fact is, in 2026, some jobs in the trades and the culinary arts pay MORE than those that require a college degree. We’ve worked here in Pennsylvania to show young adults that there are a lot of pathways to success. And since the day I took office, we’ve invested 60% more into those pathways through career and technical education courses, vo-tech, and apprenticeship programs — so more students can discover fields that they never would have considered pursuing before.
