For years, students were told the future belonged to college graduates with a four-year degree. Now, some of the fastest-growing opportunities are in skilled trades, where there is an escalating demand for labor and a higher level of job security amid the rise of artificial intelligence.
Vocational schools and specialized training programs are seeing a surge of interest among Gen Z students and younger workers who are considering options beyond traditional higher education.
And the timing couldn’t be better. Major infrastructure projects and the rapid buildout of AI-related facilities are fueling demand for workers with hands-on technical skills.

I make this small-batch blueberry jam all summer long when berries are at their peak. Because the recipe makes a modest amount (one to two jars) and doesn’t require pectin or canning, it’s simple enough to make on a whim, and it’s ready in just 30 minutes. The flavor is bright and intensely blueberry, with just enough lemon to balance the sweetness. (Read more)
