2 . Higher Education - Overview

Higher Education - Overview Higher education works much like a key; it opens doors that are closed without it. Higher education comes in several forms however and what may work for one person may not be the right approach for another. Most people who seek higher education do so in order to either get a good job right from the beginning or to get a better job after being in the work force for some time. Yet, there are some individuals tha seek a higher education just for the sake of gaining a quality education.

Many parents urge their children to go on to college after high school because they know how hard it is to go back to school after you have a family. As hard as it is though, millions of students are older than the typical college student fresh from high school. Some people, especially women go back to school after they have raised their families. Women and men have graduated from college at age 70 and above.

There are a lot of misconceptions concerning higher education. Many people think you have to be “smart” to go to college or even rich. True, college is expensive but there’s also a lot of financial aid available for almost any situation or station in life.

Sometimes getting a degree or learning a particular skill for example, a foreign language is a life-long dream that may take many years to come to fruition yet older adults and middle-age adults make up a surprising percentage of college students today.

With information at our fingertips via the Internet, we can find out anything we need to know in moments. We can research colleges in California and universities online and apply for financial aid without ever leaving home. Going to school “online” is replacing correspondence school and making it easier for people who must work full-time yet need to go to school too.

3 . Continuing Education in California

Continuing Education in California Many people take a continuing education class when they want to learn something strictly for their own benefit and not to satisfy higher education requirements. Examples of these classes are sewing, cooking, language classes including American Sign Language, fitness classes, basic car repair and many others. You can also take continuing education non-credit courses at many community colleges in California and other schools of higher education that mirror the for credit courses in some areas such as word processing, basic computer skills and the like. There are numerous subjects one can study and adult courses as well as workshops are part of gaining a higher education.

There are also millions of people each year whose professions require that they keep up with the latest educational or professional developments in their particular field. Doctors, nurses insurance and real estate agents and many other professionals are required to keep their licenses or certificates current by participating in continuing education classes. Colleges and other institutions of higher education are not the only source of continuing education classes, although there are specific guidelines as to the classes that will satisfy the CEUs (Continuing Education Units) required for certain professions.

The CEU is a unit of measure whereby 1 CEU is awarded per 10 contact hours of participation in an approved continuing education course. Professional associations often hold continuing education courses or seminars as do private companies.

In these courses professionals learn new ways of doing things and abandon some of the old ways. It is also a great time for professionals to share experiences with each other and learn from others in their respective professions. For some professions, higher education becomes a lifelong pursuit.

4 . Vocational/Technical School

Vocational/Technical School Vocational or technical school, or sometimes Vo-tech as it is called is an excellent way to learn a particular skill or trade without having to go to school for 4 or more years. Many of the skills one can learn in vocational school take only a few months or at most a year or two. Skills like welding, heating and air conditioning, electronics, computer skills and more. People who want to work in an office go to vocational school much of the time to learn keyboarding, medical transcription, and computer software applications.

Certain vocations that one would hold a license for as opposed to a degree such as cosmetology is typically taught at vocational schools. These institutions of higher education, as long as they are accredited, qualify for many types of financial aid just as the more traditional schools of higher education do.

Some jobs that don’t require a degree do require skills that one wouldn’t necessarily have after completing high school. At these jobs skill level is often examined as part of the hiring process by administering tests in such areas as business practices and computer software programs such as word processing programs and spreadsheets.

Another reason to consider vocational/technical school as a higher education option is there are some jobs that require a certificate instead of a degree and these too can typically be completed in a year or two. These schools are set up for certificate programs however most of them also offer an Associate’s Degree as well.

Even if you’re not going to school because you have to have a certificate, any time one pursues higher education it looks good on a resume. Instead of merely including the fact that you know how to do something, a certificate lends weight that you are a professional in that field. Also, you will achieve a sense of accomplishment while you participate in higher education opportunities; you’re self-esteem will increase, and you will make positive changes in your life.
