Grade 11, Education After High School 3: Other Educational Paths Facilitator Resource 1, Postsecondary Options Summaries II. Tech/Trade Schools What is a technical/trade school? • Provide courses that allow you to start a career in a specific field that you enjoy without having to take classes that really don't interest you. • Offer a variety of options, including two-year Associate’s degree programs and 1-2 year programs from which you earn a license or certificate in a specific skill. • Offer licenses or certificates in “skilled” careers, such as • Auto mechanic • Child care worker • Computer technician • Hairstylist • Medical assistant • Truck driver • Interior decorator • Mechanical engineer • Paralegal • Registered nurse What are the benefits? • Offer courses that prepare you for a specific career. • Shorter program length; you begin working soon after graduation. • Offer an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in your future trade. • Small classes and more individual attention. • Flexible schedule: night and weekend courses for those who work full-time. • Focuses on students’ and employers’ needs. Things to Consider…. • The quality of the courses can vary; ask about the school’s accreditation and reputation. • This school makes you an expert in only one thing, so it’s hard to switch careers.

Grade 11, Education After High School 3: Other Educational Paths Facilitator Resource 1, Postsecondary Options Summaries III. Apprenticeships What is an apprenticeship, and how is it different from other educational opportunities? • There are over 850 occupations that provide apprenticeships for careers in skilled trades or crafts. Some examples are: • Aircraft mechanic, Automotive service technician and mechanic, Carpenter, Cook, Electrician, Emergency medical technician (EMT), Firefighter, Hairdresser, Cosmetologist, Nurse (licensed practical & licensed vocational nurse), etc. • Combination of on-the-job training and related classroom instruction under the supervision of a trained professional, during which the apprentice receives practical and theoretical training for a highly skilled career. • Depending on the occupation, training can last from one to five years. • During training, the apprentice receives a salary, which increases over time if the apprentice makes satisfactory progress. • Upon completing the apprenticeship, the worker receives an Apprenticeship Completion Certificate, which is nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor. What are the benefits? • You receive full-time pay while you receive training—and if you do well, your pay will continue to increase. • You get hands-on experience to learn a skill and see if you really want to do this as a career. • These highly-skilled occupations typically pay well. • Certificates may count towards college degrees, other licenses, or certification. • Certificates are nationally recognized and reflect a high level of training, so you can easily market yourself for a job—anywhere in the country. Things to Consider…. • Apprenticeships may require a long time commitment—and often require a lot of work. • You will spend time in classes and will likely spend a lot of time studying. • Even though you’re getting paid, you may have to cover the cost of tools and textbooks. • You will be trained in one specific occupation, so you will need new and different training if you want to change careers. • There is a standard application procedure for an apprenticeship, which typically involves an entrance exam, and an interview. Some can be extremely competitive. • Applicants are placed on a waiting list in order of their qualifications, which includes test results, past education, grades, and interviews. © 2010 Roads to Success.
