Technical Education: An Attractive Study Option
Many young people miss the opportunity to have a higher education because they do not have enough income to pay for a college degree. That reality must not be an obstacle for them to better themselves. That is why technical education becomes an attractive study option not only because of its shortened terms and less expensive courses but also because of the possibility of the graduates’ entering the labor market sooner.
So, if you are a person who cannot afford a university career, do not sit idly, but start considering technical career education as an alternative to improve your employment skills.
Ms. Indira Jadoonandan, a Curriculum Support Specialist at Miami Lakes Educational Center and Technical College, talked to us about the advantages of this type of education.

Training is available in business administration, commercial arts & 3D animation, culinary arts & baking, construction & apprenticeship, health occupations, information technology, licensed childcare, personal services, public safety & security, manufacturing, and transportation. Most of our programs can be completed within a year.
