WMCAT Step Year (click for more info)

Figuring out your next steps when you're a young adult is intimidating. 

There are many questions like "What do I want do?" "Should I go to college?" "Can I even afford it?" 

At the West Michigan Center for Arts + Technology, they believe that "I don't know" is a great place to start. 

Step Year, WMCAT's tuition-free college and career exploration program, is specifically designed to help you find your next steps whether that be college, a trade certificate, a new job, or maybe something you haven't thought of yet. 

Kent County young adults ages 18 to 24 can apply now for Step Year at wmcat dot org forward slash step year.
