Tiffany & Co. parent LVMH is expanding a program to train people to make high-end jewelry.
The program doesn't require a college degree and creates a talent pipeline of craftspeople for LVMH.
The luxury giant has been offering similar vocational programs in Europe for nearly a decade.

Many young Americans are questioning whether college is worth it.

For Tiffany & Co., a college degree isn't a must for someone's résumé.

The company's owner, luxury goods giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, is expanding a program that trains people to become artisans who can make Tiffany's high-end jewelry.
