Online College Programs Provide Students With Hands-On Career Options Through Technical Education
Many people have the strong desire to return to school to further their education, but the idea of slogging through two or four years of traditional academics is a serious hindrance. A vocational degree may be the solution for people who want a hands-on education that provides them knowledge that can be used on the job. Fortunately, vocational degrees are offered in an online format as well as on traditional campuses, so students can improve their education without affecting their daily lives.
Students who want to earn a vocational degree will often choose it over a traditional college degree specifically because the experience is different and more involved. College degrees are often centered on an academic experience, with students learning about mathematics and science. Vocational degrees are more about granting students work experience in a specific trade or occupation. Students will earn their degree often by demonstrating proficiency with a specific sort of technology, which has led to vocational education also being called technical education.
Vocational education does vary from state to state in America, especially in the schools that offer the degrees. Proprietary career schools offer the majority of postsecondary technical education. Two-year community colleges, however, provide roughly 30 percent of vocational credentials, with many of the credits being transferable to four-year universities. Several states even operate their own institutes of technology, which are equally as accredited as other state universities. A number of these schools offer their programs online, so students can earn their vocational degree in a manner that may be more convenient for them.
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) is a nonprofit membership association that is instrumental for advocating vocational education programs in the U.S. The ACTE was founded in 1926 and has almost 30,000 members, most of whom are educators and administrators working in vocational education. The ACTE works to encourage various levels of the U.S. government to support and fund vocational educational programs so that students have more opportunities to earn their degrees and immediately enter the workforce.
The government has been responding in kind to the needs of students attending or wanting to attend vocational schools. In 2009, President Barack Obama passed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The ARRA expanded vocational training to people who have recently found themselves unemployed. The ARRA provides $400 million for employment services, $3.45 billion for job training, and $500 million for vocational training for those who are disabled – many of these funds may be accessible by new students who want to attend vocational schools.
Students may wonder what career possibilities are covered by vocational education. Job opportunities in the vocational fields are numerous and diverse. Two of the most popular choices are cosmetology and auto repair, both careers that the Bureau of Labor Statistics expect to grow by 14 percent in the next few years.
As with a traditional academic track of higher education, students will complete various classes based on what vocational career they decide to study while earning their online degree. Cosmetologists working towards earning their license will focus on aesthetics classes as well as skin and nail care classes. They might even take classes that teach them how to manage their own salon. Auto mechanic training programs focus on a broad spectrum of mechanics, allowing students to complete classes in advanced diagnostics, collision repair and even aircraft mechanics. No matter what career they choose, students earning their vocational degree will have a thorough knowledge of their jobs.
New students enrolling in vocational and technical schools do so for a reason. Many students prefer learning a specific skill set and applying that directly to their new jobs. Fortunately, many distance learning college programs offer degrees in vocational fields, which means that students can earn their vocational degrees without interrupting their everyday lives. All they have to do is enroll!
