Hello everyone, I'm looking into alternative education options after high school and wondering about trade schools. Can anyone provide examples of what trade schools are there and what they offer?
Sure, it's important to consider all options for your post-high school education. Trade schools are institutions that provide practical training in specific occupational fields. Here are a few examples of trade schools and their programs:
1. Universal Technical Institute (UTI): UTI offers programs in automotive, diesel, motorcycle, marine, collision repair, and NASCAR technology. They also have manufacturer-specific advanced training programs with companies like Ford, BMW, and Peterbilt.
2. Miami Culinary Institute: For individuals interested in the culinary arts, this institution offers training in culinary management and the art of cooking. It gives students hands-on experience in the kitchen, which can lead them into careers as chefs, food service managers, etc.
3. Lincoln Tech: This institution provides programs in automotive technology, health sciences (like medical assisting and dental assistant), skilled trades (e.g., electrician and HVAC training), and information technology.
4. Tulsa Welding School: TWS offers training in professional welding, pipefitting, and HVAC/R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration).
These are just a few examples of trade schools and the programs they offer. If you have a specific trade in mind, it may be worth researching schools and programs specialized in that area.
