Some students look to obtain technical skills to begin a career in a specific industry. For example, training to become a plumber, massage therapist or HVAC technician can be obtained by attending a technical/vocational school. Some of these programs offer apprenticeships which allow students to earn money while obtaining hands-on job experience, and many programs offer opportunities for students to earn degrees, diplomas, or specialized certificates.
