“Test Drive” YC!
Eight out of ten students go to college without a real idea of what they want to study, and about one third of students change their major at least once. That can add up to a lot of wasted time and money. Doesn’t it make more sense to try a few things out before you make a decision?
So, if you’re looking to get started in a new career that’s hands-on and in demand, check out YC’s Test Drive Open House programs. During this event, you can experience different programs and take a class to help you decide your path to take you from college to career in two years or less.
At the Chino Valley event take a mini class and explore your options at Yavapai College’s Test Drive YC Open House Days.
