VOCATIONAL TRAINING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL COLLEGE

ADAPTABLE SKILLS AND FLEXIBLE CAREERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

According to Alice Muterspaw, Vice President of Vocational Services at The Viscardi Center, traditional vocational training fields, such as mechanical, culinary, and cosmetology, still exist, but there is a growing number of well-paying jobs that are not focused on physical labor.

“You can get IT training and be hired to work at a remote help desk,” she says.

“Call centers are a large market right now, and people can be set up to do that remotely.”
