What is the difference between a post secondary collegiate program and a technical or vocational school?
At a college, students complete their general coursework, in addition to their technical coursework/training. You then have the opportunity to complete an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree, and have the ability to move into management. At a technical or vocational school, the emphasis is all on the technical coursework. This would allow you the opportunity to get through the training and skills you need and get out into the industry quickly.
