Trade and Technical Schools
Not every student wants or needs to attend a traditional four-year college or university
to get the additional educational experience to advance in a career field. For those
students looking for a more hands-on educational experience, pursuing a certificate or
degree from a trade or technical school is perhaps the best path to follow.
There are numerous opportunities for students to pursue depending on the career field
of interest. Students interested in more trade or technical programs should explore all
the options offered at community colleges, specialized schools, and/or within a trade
union or professional association. The list of opportunities below is not an exhaustive
list but instead a place for a student to start researching schools and programs.
