What are the prospects for a career as a dietetic technician?
Employment of dietetic technicians is expected to grow faster than average for all professions from 2006 to 2016 (1). The growing and aging population and increased need for dietary services will drive job growth. Job prospects are expected to be good especially for dietetic technicians with advanced education and work experience. Job openings will also arise from the need to replace dietetic technicians that retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.
