Unlike other occupation groups, one particular form of educational attainment does not dominate postings for Health Care occupations. A high school diploma or vocational training was the most common form of education asked for by employers via online ads with over 450 online ads. Meanwhile, another 400 postings required an Associate’s while an additional 250 asked for a Bachelor’s.
