5 Important Facts That Will Affect Your Career Choice…
Students and workers alike are affected by the changing demands for jobs. Consider the following:
- 70% all jobs require education or technical training beyond high school
- Manufacturing jobs will require different skill sets, while an equal number of service jobs will be obsolete
- Most new job opportunities come from small companies with fewer than 100 employees, yet small companies are the least able to provide on-the-job training
- Workers will change jobs six to seven times during their normal working lives
- Many technical and office occupations now require a post-secondary degree as more employers prefer to hire trained personnel rather than provide training
Students who have completed programs at a private career college are equipped with the necessary skills to stay on top of the ever-changing labour market and deal with challenges effectively, making them an ideal candidate for employers.
What do these statements mean as you think about a job for yourself and for your future?
- You will probably have several jobs in your lifetime, and they will probably be different kinds of jobs. You’ll need to develop a good skill set to prepare you for each kind of job.
- More than ever before employers will only hire workers who already have the required job skills.
- Specialized training will be the key to staying on top of the changing workforce.
- Colleges that offer specialized post-secondary training may be your answer to getting the necessary skills to succeed in the workplace.
