What high demand vocational jobs should I consider?

I'm planning my post-high school career and I'm interested in which vocational jobs are currently in high demand. Can anyone provide some insights or suggestions for vocational fields that are expected to grow?

Several vocational fields are expected to be in high demand and provide strong job growth in the coming years. Here's a list of a few:

1. Healthcare Professionals: As baby boomers age and the general population leans toward a more health-conscious lifestyle, there's an increased demand for medical services. This creates opportunities for licensed practical nurses, nurse technicians, health technicians, dental hygienists, and other medical support roles.

2. Skill Trade Workers: Skilled trades like electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and automotive service technicians/mechanics are seeing growth due to a combination of new development, maintenance of existing infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled workers in the trades.

3. IT Technicians: With technology playing a central role in almost every industry, trained technicians in fields like cybersecurity, IT-support, network administration, and hardware servicing are in high demand.

4. Green Collar Jobs: With an increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental conservation, jobs in renewable energy, such as solar panel technicians, or environmental impact consultants, are on the rise.

5. Transportation and Logistics: Bus and truck drivers, transit and railroad police, cargo and freight agents are among some of the roles that are in high demand due to the need for goods and services to be transported.

6. Personal Services: Roles such as home health aides, personal care assistants, and fitness trainers are becoming more in demand, particularly serving the increasingly health-conscious and senior demographic.

Remember that these fields often require some form of certification or technical training, but they don't usually require a four-year college degree. Vocational and technical schools, extension programs, and community colleges can provide the necessary training. It would be best to understand the requirements and training needed for a specific role before making a decision. Good luck on your journey!
