When you think of jobs in education it's only natural that you first think of the teacher, standing in front of the classroom, helping young people learn and, hopefully, opening whole new worlds to them. But there are many other careers in education-related fields such as child care, sign language and library assistance.
If your dream for the future is to become a teacher, whether it's in at the elementary level, high school or even college, we can get you there. Students majoring in education earn their Associate in Arts Degree and then transfer their credits to a four-year college or university where they complete their Bachelor's Degree and can begin teaching at the kindergarten through 12th grade level. The classes you take with us are the same ones you will take at the four-year institution and, best of all, you'll save hundreds of dollars because our tuition is much lower than the private colleges and state universities.
Students interested in a position in child care might be surprised to learn that ongoing regulatory changes are requiring more and more education for the field. Our Child Care program meets all of the requirements you will need to begin working in this field and provides you the opportunity for hands-on training in a child care facility.
Working as a sign language interpreter can be one of the most rewarding careers a person can enter. Many interpreters work as private contractors, helping individuals who cannot hear with their ears to hear with their eyes through the interpreters sign language.
