Jobs that don’t need a four-year degree make up almost half the economy--and we’re going to explore them! Come on a FREE road trip to find out how learning skills and trades can put you in control of your future.

Apply by September 26, 2017

We’re Roadtrip Nation, and we send people on road trips in our green RV to talk to leaders and innovators who are creating success for themselves. We film it all and turn it into a TV show.

This time, fueled by Penn Foster and Strada Education Network, we’re road-tripping across the U.S. to find what it takes to get the skills and training you need without a four-year degree. You’ll meet real people who earned the skills to take control of their future and get the opportunity to explore how matching your interests to applied skills can help you grow and thrive in areas like health care, tech, business, advanced manufacturing, and more.

The RV hits the road November 26th through December 22nd. If you’re ready to get skilled, apply below and you could be on board!
