VOCATIONAL TRAINING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL COLLEGE

ADAPTABLE SKILLS AND FLEXIBLE CAREERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


People may assume vocational training is for manual labor (think plumbers or mechanics), but that isn’t always the case.

Increasingly, many vocational jobs rely on technical skills rather than physical abilities — think of a civil engineer technician who helps an engineer draft building plans and analyze materials and costs using special software.

The shorter timeframe and lower cost of vocational training can mean lower student loan debt and a fast track to employment.

With employers much more supportive of remote work after the pandemic, vocational programs can open a wide range of careers that can evolve and grow.
