Why It’s Important to Research an Education or Training Company before Registering
The job market is a competitive domain. Depending on your given profession or the one you aspire to work in, there can be any number of barriers to getting your dream position, but the most common starting point for any field is going to be a baseline for education or training. And no matter which career you’re pursuing, statistics show that baseline is rising.
Take statistical trends of individuals earning high school diplomas, associate’s degrees, and bachelor’s degrees, for example. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the percentage of people reaching each level of education rose between the year 2000 and 2017 among people between 25 and 29 years old — a common age group for entry-level workers today. The percentage of people who earned at least a high school diploma or equivalent in that time period rose from 88 percent to 92 percent. Meanwhile, the people entering the job market with a bachelor’s degree or higher increased from 29 to 36 percent in that same time period. Now compare that to the 1970 U.S. Census, for example, which was the first census in which more than 50 percent of individuals were at least earning a high school diploma.
So in less than 50 years, entering the job market with a high school diploma went from being a literal coin flip to a near statistical assurance. As a result, employers have been able to be more selective in their hiring, making specialized training and education a necessity in some fields.
Are you in a rush to grab the nearest application now and register for classes? Don’t be. Whether you are fresh out of high school or already have a college diploma, a few years of work experience, and are looking for a career change, there are a handful of questions you should consider first. And they each give credence to the fact that you should conduct thorough research before registering for your chosen education or training program.Edit this text and tell your site visitors who you are.

How Will It Help My Job Placement?
One incredibly important factor to consider when picking an education or training program is how much that specific institution increases your odds of landing a job in the field you’ve chosen. And if you poll any group of employers, you are going to hear over and over that experience is the most important factor in making hiring decisions. This, of course, leads to the age-old chicken and egg scenario: how do I get that experience without ever having the job?
While traditional K-12 education focuses on classroom learning, university and trade programs fill in the gap where on-the-job training can begin, often in the form of internships.
Will the program, company, or school you’re considering provide a network of options for relevant internships? If the answer is yes, you can and should also consider how many internship opportunities will be paid versus unpaid. A National Association of Colleges and Employers study of 15,715 seniors at the bachelor’s degree level found that 60 percent of paid interns were offered jobs, while just 36 percent of college graduates with no internship were offered jobs.

Is The Program Cost Effective?
Don’t fall for the narrative that all this means you must enroll in a four-year university. According to a 2018 report by NPR, some “30 million jobs in the United States that pay an average of $55,000 per year don’t require bachelor’s degrees.”
Trade schools — institutions that offer specific training that often can’t be gained in a bachelor’s program — offer a quicker path to getting on the job. Since their training is focused and not general, this option eliminates a lot of time spent getting a four or even two-year degree and therefore, a lot of money spent as well.
Now consider this: according to Business Insider , the overall average cost of a traditional four-year degree increased by 260% — from $9,000 to $23,000 — between 1980 and 2014.
So, can you earn a job in your chosen field with a certification that requires less invested time and at a lower cost than the traditional four-year degree? If the answer is yes, then your research should likely focus on a targeted training program, company, or school.

What Quality of Education Am I Receiving?
Ok, there’s just one last line of questioning. Is this a quality education that’s going to prepare me for the workforce? And will employers hold my degree or certificate in high regard?
The best way to find an answer, believe it or not, is to go straight to the source. If you’re aiming to work in a specific industry, you can always find recruiting managers, HR departments, and even current workers in the field you’re pursuing to learn the baseline requirements for a job. If you are considering a trade school, technical program, or online school, it will be important to make sure that program is accredited and recognized by your hopeful employer. Most companies will advertise such a classification and in some fields, businesses hire directly from schools and training programs.
