Vocational & Technical Programs Data

Peterson’s Vocational & Technical Programs Database is designed to serve as a key source of information about occupation-specific educational programs at a wide variety of institutions.

The programs in this database result in an award below the associate degree level. Typical users are those who need training, but not necessarily a degree, to get the jobs they seek.

These users might be:

• High school students
• Workers in the process of changing careers
• Those preparing to leave service in the military

They need to locate information about the myriad of programs that can lead them to their chosen careers.

This database provides a gateway to the thousands of schools that offer this kind of education, from the New York Paralegal School to the City College of San Francisco. Many are small schools run for profit; some represent programs within institutions of higher education.
