Link to October 5 Oshkosh Northwestern article, "More high school grads choosing technical college".
Excerpt: New enrollment trend data shows one in five high school students now enroll directly into Fox Valley Technical College after graduation, said communications director Chris Jossart.
FVTC officials said they were surprised by the trend. The technical college, which spans a five-county region, has built a reputation for attracting large numbers of non-traditional students over the age of 25 who are seeking new careers or skills as the job market shifts.
The number of 18 year olds enrolling at FVTC has grown 75 percent in the past five years, said Melissa Kohn, director of the Oshkosh Riverside campus. Overall enrollment has increased 28 percent during that same time frame.
