College Grads Losing Their Edge?

A January article in the Washington Post highlighted an interesting shift in the labor market. For the first time in 50 years, workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher didn’t have an edge in employment. In the last half of 2025, the unemployment gap flipped, and trade workers with occupational associate degrees had better employment prospects. The last time this was true was back in the 1990s.

What Are Real Students Saying About Vocational Training Institute?

“VTI was an amazing school and I had easily one of the best instructors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Steven Russell was awesome. Had loads of knowledge on all subjects about HVAC/R. He ensured everyone knew the information and was able to understand everything that was taught. I’ve already recommended the course to a lot of my buddies getting out of the military. I hope they take the course, and I hope Top and Steve are there. I plan on taking the upcoming welding course as well and hope they include brazing with it so I can get a few other skills under my belt. Good luck to Steve and to Mike. Wish y’all the best and hope the school stays around for a long time.”
