YES, You Can Go to a Career College

Career colleges are the hot educational option for 2008, a fast track to a stable and rewarding occupation. Unlike traditional universities, a career college is structured to offer vocational-orientated classes that quickly get students into the workforce.

Enrollment in career colleges has risen rapidly, because simply having a high school degree or GED is not enough to be successful in today's competitive world. At a career college, it's not sink or swim-it is the mission of these schools to help students succeed, which includes assisting in improving study skills, and helping graduates find a job in their chosen profession.

They focus on providing specialized education for a certain industry, these adaptable institutions have modern facilities and a continually expanding curriculum that centers on employer-driven programs. Career colleges are particularly helpful for students who haven't always succeeded in a traditional school setting.

Listen to what some students had to say about the way a career college was able to help them overcome some typical barriers to education and career:

SARAH: "I don't have four years to spend in school, especially since I have a family and job." At a career college, working adults can get the education and training they need, since day and evening classes are both offered. The student services office can provide childcare referrals and work out a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Most programs are between 8 to 10 months. Most classes only average about 20 hours of classes each week, or four hours a day, plus homework and other assignments.

MARIA: "I don't have my GED yet. This has always been a problem for me." At a career college, the lack of a high school degree or GED doesn't have to prevent you from moving forward. Career college admissions representatives can provide information about admission requirements. Although some programs need a high school diploma or GED, others just require a nationally recognized ability-to-benefit test, which can be taken on campus.

CHRIS: "I had poor grades in high school. I'm worried I won't do well in school." At a career college, students don't need to take the kind of academic classes that might be "requirements" at a traditional college. You can focus specifically on the skills needed for a particular occupation. Tutoring is available for basic math and English skills. Career college teachers are dedicated to helping you succeed.

JUSTINE: "I can't afford to go back to school." Career college education offers an excellent return on investment. Financial aid is available for most career college programs.

JERRI: "What happens after I graduate? I need help finding a job." Full-time placement professionals provide assistance with career placement and advice.
