Fast Track Trade Schools

Also referred to as a vocational school, a trade school is an educational institution that provides training in the skilled professions that allow students to enter directly into a career upon graduation. Trade schools offer degrees, diplomas and certificates in a range of areas, such as carpentry, construction, plumbing and allied health. These programs typically focus on hands-on skills development, with some background theoretical instruction. Several trade schools in the United States also provide specialized "fast track" program options that allow students to graduate earlier than typically required.

Program options include computer-aided drafting and design; maintenance electricity and construction technology; refrigeration, heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology; carpentry and construction technology; and welding and fabrication technology.
