VoTech Definition
VoTech (Vocational/Trade, Technical): Are post-secondary schools and institutes that provide targeted training and education where students earn a certificate, license or associates degree (2 year diploma) in a specific skill, trade or technical job. BISS calls them “VoTech” and divides them into two classes:
1.) Vocational Education and Training (VET) also called “Industrial Arts”. and are also called ‘Trade Schools or Institutes’. These jobs are primary skilled labor positions. Plumbing, Electrician, Welding are examples.
2.) Career and Technical Education (CTE), Also called ‘Tech schools or Institutes’, the more academically or technically oriented positions. Advanced Auto mechanics, Software Programing, Paralegal are examples.
All training and classes for either VET or CTE are specific to their field. The duration of a VoTech instiute can go from a few weeks to four years while the average length is less than a year. Many offer either a certificate or the license necessary to be employed in that work or field. Many offer guided field work experience after completion of the classroom stage. Some have internship programs attached to them as well, often leading to a job offer.
University Definition
BISS defines the ‘university’ as a 2 year or a 4 year ‘holistic’, rounded degree program where the student will take classes in various disciplines out side of their specific major. The student also physically attends a specific university, or college, in a specific location — (online classroom courses maybe part of the degree program, but the entire course is not online) — and seeks to obtain an Associate (2 year) or a Bachelor’s (4 year) degree/diploma.
