You have openned many doors of opportunity!

SCHOOL SYSTEMS

 

of German-Speaking Countries

PLANNING

When planning for you future ask questions!

Whether you want to attend a college or university, 

OR if you want to do an apprenticeship 

ALWAYS talk to Family, Friends, Teachers, Counselors!

What path is right for you? 

It might be the one you least expected!

Questions to ask and think about....educate yourself!

APPRENTICESHIPS COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY

What are the acceptance requirements? What are the requirements for the degree you are seeking?

What incentives are offered? What scholarships are offered by the establishment?

What is breakdown for the different completion requirements? What grants are offered by the establishment?

Will they guantee you placement upon completion? Is there a quick path program?

What supplies do you need? Who pays for those? Do they accept Dual Credit classes?

What employment and travel opportunities are there? How are language assessments (Seal of Biliteracy,  AP, TOEFL) valued?

What advancement opportunities are their in the field? What other placement assessments are offered for credit? 

10 reasons why and apprenticeship is better (These are IMPORTANT questions - They could be the difference of an 

ARTS or a SCIENCE degree, without a difference in the classes you take.)

TAKE the ACT/SAT seriously!!! It could be the determiner!

Take college/university entrance exams that are offered. It could be the difference 

between a Bachelor of Arts or Science, without stepping foot in the classroom!
