Start Your New Year With a New Skill at Mercer County Technical School

It’s hard to believe it, but the new year is rapidly approaching. So why not start the year with a new skill that will make you more attractive to employers? You know, that would totally give new meaning to the phrase “new year, new you,” right?

Spring enrollment is now open at Mercer County Technical School for their adult evening programs. It's the perfect opportunity for those seeking an alternative career choice rather than the traditional four-year college experience.Courses are offered in cosmetology, welding, electrical, HVAC and more, and apprenticeship programs are available, too.

Careers in these fields offer stable earnings, and these positions are more and more in demand every year.

A recent study from the Federal Reserve found that the average student who obtains a four-year college degree is crippled with more than $25,000 in debt when they graduate. In fact, about 69% of students from the Class of 2018 took out student loans, according to that same report. 

With affordable options, Mercer Technical students can attain the education and certifications they need to land a career in these fields without having to worry about the crippling burden of debt.

Plus, with evening classes you're able to keep working your current job, and if need be, evening classes allow you the flexibility to be there for your family during the day.

Even if you're just looking to learn a new skill, learning never ends. Continuing your education with the Mercer County Technical School may help you feel better about yourself and feel more confident around others. Wouldn't that be a GREAT way to start the new year?
