Townsquare Media’s New Jersey 101.5 continues its Town Hall Series Thursday to discuss college alternatives. The show will be hosted by political director Eric Scott.
According to Talkers, Scott will examine alternatives to the traditional four-year degree.
“New Jersey is facing a real crisis in terms of a skilled labor shortage,” said Scott. “These are solid careers, with excellent pay, and don’t come with the debt of a four-year degree. Not everyone needs a four-year degree to have a successful and rewarding career.”
The program’s expert panel includes John Tillman, founder of Ecliptic Financial Advisors; Aaron Fichtner, president of the New Jersey Council of County Colleges; Chrissy Buteas, chief government affairs officer with the New Jersey Business & Industry Association; and Amy Lombardo, with the New Jersey School Counselor Association.
The town hall will be streamed on the station’s Facebook page, YouTube channel, and via the New Jersey 101.5 app.
