Below are brief examples of each. Technical Colleges: Admission is open to anyone who has earned a high school diploma, holds a GED or is able to successfully prove their ability to benefit from enrolling. Different technical programs have different standards in reading, writing, and math which must be met before the student is allowed to enroll. Depending on standards, some students may be required to take developmental/remedial courses before enrolling in chosen program. Degrees offered at technical colleges; Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Associate in Science (AS), Diploma programs, and certificate programs. Apprenticeships: Programs offer young adults a career pathway that provide employment as they learn on the job. People who successfully complete a program become journey level workers. Apprentices are guaranteed a wage as they progress. There are over 950 occupations that are recognized by the Department of Labor for apprenticeship programs. Employers generally bear the costs of the program. Apprentices may begin at 16 years of age, but the minimum age for most is 18. Many apprenticeship programs are suitable for people with a range of abilities. “Certificate of Training” credentials allow individuals to be recognized for a specific set of skills, which allow people with and without disabilities to move laterally or upward within a specific industry.
