1. Vocational Schools:
What sets them apart?

2. The practical side is
sometimes what
differentiates vocational
schools and the normal
four year college.

3. In trade schools, students
focus on particular
skills, often with hands on
practice in real situations.

4. Real experience and training
are added to classroom
lectures.

5. Vocational courses can be
had in several ways.

6. They can often be found in
communities, even in
smaller more rural towns.

7. Community colleges often
have training like this as
well. And finally, there is
the internet.

8. Though some of the
courses need to be hands
on, you can do a great deal
of the classwork at
home, online.

9. Here are a few topics, that
you will want to consider
before making your final
choice:

10. How to find the right
vocational or trade schools
that are a good fit for you?

11. How are you going to
pay for
your education?

12. Is the school you have
chosen accredited?
This is one of the most important
issues you can address during
your vocational school quest.

13. There can’t be too much
emphasis placed on
accreditation.

14. There are other specific
things to consider, both for
you and about your chosen
school.

15. These will be discussed
in future videos, so stay
tuned.

16. Vocational schools are
definitely a great option
for those who need or
want to get started in their
career, ASAP.

17. At one of these
schools, students can
get a much faster start
on their career in the
field of their choice.

18. Vocational schools are a great
resource for job
preparation, whether for recent
high school graduates or for
those adults needing more
education to get ahead in their
current career.

19. Due diligence needs to be
conducted before enrolling
in any vocational
school, trade school or
technical college. Here are
some things to consider:

20. Again, is it
accredited by the
state or an
authorized
agency?

21. Does it have a reputation for
developing marketable
skills?

22. What about the success
of their graduates?

23. Does the vocational
school that is being
considered have a
placement program?

24. Ask for information
directly from graduates
of the school or those
companies that have
hired them in the past.

25. Now that you have decided
which school you would
like to attend and have
done your due
diligence, how are you
going to pay for it?

26. Of course, the best
way would be if you
could just
cut the school a
check for the tuition.

27. But that method is not
always available.
