Trade vs. College
Let's face it college is not for everyone. This could be because not all people will be able to make the commitment need for time and money. This where trade schools come into play. Americation Career and Training School (ACTS) brings a unique approach to education. Trade Schools or vocational programs as they can also be called, differ from colleges in two main aspects, time and money. Trade Schools on average cost less than colleges and required less time to finish the program.
Understanding the difference Between Trade and College.
Trade schools offer focused training for a particular job. For example, to become a Mechanic, plumber, or Patient Care Technician, you must go to a trade school. They give Certificates to students who complete the program. This Certificate certifies that the student is able to complete the tasks that are required or expected of them in a given field.
Colleges, on the other hand, offer a different approach. Colleges offer degrees, and sometimes degrees along with a certificate. (Teaching Certificate) Degrees are different levels of education which can be used for different types of jobs. Associate's and Bachelor's degrees are general studies, and enough to enter the workforce in a respective field. Masters degrees are programs with a specialized focus in a given area. Doctors are the highest level of education one can receive in a given field. With college, it takes a lot of time and money to earn these degrees.
