- Technical programs typically include required core classes and electives that allow students to branch into sub-topics or specialty areas.
- Vocational school programs are typically shorter than a four-year private or public college. Associate degree programs at community colleges or technical schools typically include two years of full-time study.
- The term ‘vocational’ means ‘work-related’. So, if you are doing a vocational qualification it means you are learning skills that will help you to get, and do, a job.
- Some people are not aware that you can get vocational qualifications that will take you up to the same level as a degree, so the opportunities for continued personal development are still there, even if you don’t choose the conventional route.
- Vocational graduates have entrepreneurial skills. Take for example someone who did carpentry, they can employ themselves.
- Vocational graduates possess good attitudes toward work; they can physically engage themselves from start to finish of a project.
- For students who have trouble with motivation and accountability, vocational courses offer an excellent chance to develop these vital skills. Showing up for class on time, and all.
