Career colleges with education programs tend to get overlooked by students doing a school search. However, career colleges have been around for a long time, providing skills- and career-based post-secondary education since the mid-19th century. These are usually small private colleges with 1- to 2-year diploma and certificate programs, which means the learning environment is dynamic and focused. Programs are often developed with input from professionals in the field, so the curriculum is up-to-date, relevant and allows for the kind of personal, hands-on, job-specific training that many larger institutions simply can't provide.
There are different types of career colleges (which can sometimes be called vocational or technical schools). Some are general career colleges with programs in several fields, while others are focused on fields like business, travel, computers and sometimes even teacher education. Career college programs in areas like English as a second language (ESL) or special education assisting are designed to train you for entry into specific jobs or to help you fulfill pre-requisites for university or community college teacher education programs. Be sure to ask if the career college has any articulation agreements that allow you to transfer your credit towards a bachelor's degree program. So whether you're looking to learn to earn--or whether you're just starting a longer teacher education process--don't forget to check out what's available at career colleges in the US!
