Most people know something about community colleges and technical schools, but there may be a few things you don't know. We will be sharing some of that information from time to time.
Did you know that community colleges offer certificates, associate degrees, and even bachelor degrees?
- Certificates train a person in a specific skill set for a particular type of work. There are many certificate programs that can be completed in a relatively short amount of time and can lead to a good, living-wage job. Some examples include dental assistant, licensed practical nurse (LPN), precision machining technology, forensic and fingerprint technology, and entrepreneurship and small business management.
- Associate degrees are offered in professional/technical subjects, which may develop a broader set of skills than a certificate. Some examples include air traffic control, massage therapy, accounting, and IT systems and security.
- Associate degrees are also offered for students who wish to transfer a college or university and earn a bachelor's degree. Students may want to pursue this option for a variety of reasons such as saving money or staying close to home.
- Bachelor degree programs are also being offered at community colleges near us such as Green River, Bellevue, and Highline. Students complete all coursework at the community college. These programs are in areas for which there is high demand in the work force.
