 Let's fact it...people have been trying to predict the
future since the beginning of time!
But when it comes to trying to determine which
occupations will hold the most promise in the near future, you want to try
to remove the guesswork as much as possible. After all, if you make a
mistake and choose the wrong career, you may pay dearly for the rest of
your life.
Education Advisors spend a great deal of time
doing their research when it comes to identifying the most promising
careers. They cannot afford to be wrong when it comes to providing
recommendations which will assist students gain entry to their chosen career.
Imagine how disappointed a person will be if he spends time and money
getting a diploma which is of no use.
Another important point to remember is
that the present and future needs of local employers are of primary
consideration when offering programs of study. All campuses, be they
private or public, must spend considerable time analyzing local employment trends.
This is important since most students who enroll in a post-secondary
program hope to find employment
close to home. Therefore, the diploma or certificate that the student earns must give
that person an excellent chance of entering a career in a local company or
organization.
Recent studies have shown that well over 80% of all
occupations in the market today fall within one of the following
main career clusters.
| BUSINESS
CAREERS
|
 The
School of Business at private and public colleges and
universities, for example,
are committed to exposing students to the most relevant aspects of business
operations, management, and practices, while providing the student with
the tools required for a career in business. The
business programs, therefore, are designed to provide you with the
necessary tools to succeed in many facets of business. You will learn
about the relevant aspects of your choice of a wide variety of business
areas that will enable you to become an effective business professional.
Regardless of which specific program in which you enroll, the business
programs will enable you to gain positions in companies right across the
country. Additionally, instructors must ensure that you will be
prepared to open your own small business since that is what many young
people are doing to get their start in a career today.

| TECHNOLOGY CAREERS
|
 Private
and public post-secondary technology programs should prepare you to
design, implement, manage and maintain computers and network installations
in organizations of all sizes, ranging from small firms with a single
Local Area Network to global corporations with large Wide Area Networks
spanning multiple geographical locations. This is one of the fastest
growing, and at the same time, one of the fastest changing career
fields of the modern era. Just about everywhere you turn, computers
are affecting your life. People are needed to make these machines
work to our advantage. You may like the excitement of always being
on the frontier of new developments.

| HEALTH CARE CAREERS
|
 Health care will continue to be one of the fastest
growing fields in the world, thanks in no small part to the aging Baby
Boomers. With so much interest in these careers, the School of Health
Care has become a very important section of many private and public career
colleges. The curriculum at these colleges is based on industry
certification requirements determined by leading Canadian and American
health care associations. You will learn the specific skills necessary to
take part in a medical environment. If you enjoy making a difference in
people’s lives, a career in health care may be just what the doctor
ordered.

| LAW & JUSTICE CAREERS |
 Careers
in Law & Justice are wonderful goals for young people today.
Paralegals are in great demand, as they can
perform many of the duties that lawyers have traditionally
accomplished. Paralegals free lawyers for other duties, and are
cost-effective for law firms and businesses.
Currently policing agencies in Canada have expressed
concern regarding an aging police force. Current enforcement staff
are accepting early retirement packages together with a number of
current members who will require replacement by natural attrition.
In order to maintain current levels of staffing, the hiring will be
fairly aggressive. The OPP alone estimate recruiting over 250
candidates each year for the next 5 years.
The graduate is trained to pursue a career in the
various policing agencies across Canada (Municipal Police,
Provincial Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Military Police,
Transportation Police, Private Police, University Police).
Alternative career paths would include Customs and Immigration,
Private Investigations, Custody and Correctional Officers, Agency
officers for Federal and Provincial Government enforcing
legislation, Bailiffs, University Police, Wardens, Security
Officers, Parking Enforcement, Parks and Game Wardens, Court
Services, 9-1-1- Operators, Loss Prevention Control, |
