After high school, you can choose many different paths to continue your education. One path is to earn a certificate degree or diploma from a career college or technical school that will train you for a specific career, trade, or profession.
Those schools train for a variety of technical positions, including automotive technician, computer technician, hairstylist, medical assistant, truck driver, and other field.
This website will answer some questions before enrolling in a career college or technical school.
Apprenticeship is a system of learning while earning. It combines training on the job with related and supplemental instruction at school.
Each program operates under apprenticeship training standards under which a person works with a skilled worker and gains on the job skills and “know-how” and in turn becomes an important part of the occupation and industry.
Vocational schools train in specific careers that do not require a college degree. Programs can run between six months to two years.
Some of the programs available are accounting, medical front and back office, digital multimedia, computer aided drafting, certified nursing assistant, cosmetology, dental technician, pharmacy technician, machinist, landscaping, culinary arts and many more.
