WHY CONSIDER TECHNICAL EDUCATION?
There are several reasons why students may choose a technical education over a liberal arts college.
THEIR FIELD OF STUDY
Certain degrees and programs are more suited to a technical environment. These include many of the skill-based fields, such as automation, computers, engineering, and construction.
DIRECT PATH TO THE WORKFORCE
Because technical education trains students for a specific profession, they have a more direct path to a career after graduation. And degree programs often include part-time positions or internships while still in school.
LESS DEBT AND HIGH EARNING POTENTIAL
Many technical education students not only graduate with less debt, they earn as much in their first year of employment as those who hold graduate and post-graduate degrees.
