Cegep Career Programs Career Programs versus trade schools Students sometimes wonder if studying in a trade school at the high school level would not be better than going to Cegep for three years. But Cegep Career Programs and trade schools are very different. The prospects for advancement and career choices for trade school graduates are limited, whereas, Career Program graduates are not only on the fast track for salary raises and advancement through a company, but are prepared for university if they choose to pursue their studies further.

Career Programs are normally six semesters or three years in length. There are some exceptions: the Extended Nursing Program can be completed in eight semesters or four years; and some programs offer a fast track, usually for students who have already completed a DCS or an ACS. Career Programs provide graduates with skills and fundamental knowledge to permit them to practice their profession upon graduation.
