Top Jobs for K-12 Graduates in Well-Known Companies

Graduated from K-12 last year? Or about to do so this year? Then the following are jobs you might want to apply to on Kalibrr

Graduating from high school is a meaningful milestone in life. Along with signifying the successful completion of basic education, it is also a coming of age for many, as this is also when a lot of us begin making our own decisions and taking action about our futures. In the past, this usually meant choosing a course to take and a school to go to for college.

Since last year when the K-12 Basic Education program had its first set of graduates however, what to do immediately after high school now also includes working. Now, while there have always been entry-level jobs which high school grads can qualify for, such as call-center agents or telemarketers, merchandisers, and salespersons; the implementation of the K-12 has made being successfully hired for these a greater possibility.

And these are not limited to smaller or lesser known employers either. Multinational companies are constantly in search of talented individuals that will help with the continued success of their operations. If you are a recent K-12 grad, or just about to complete the program this year, the following are some careers on Kalibrr you might just want to consider now or a little later in the future:
