In the public schools, technology education is the subject area that teaches students all about the world of technology and its influences on our modern society. What a wonderful way to prepare America's youth for the technological world of the future. Teaching jobs in technology education are so plentiful that it has been declared an area of critical teacher shortage by the United States Department of Education. Teaching technology education is a fun and rewarding career.
Many majors go into industry after graduation and experience great success.
The Vocational-Industrial Education major prepares students for teaching certain trade and industrial education courses in the public schools. Trade and industrial education is a specific service area of vocational education that trains public school students for careers in trades like printing, drafting, building trades, and machining. Some majors teach in industry as trainers. If you have a bachelor's degree and are interested in teaching technology education or vocational education, then the graduate program can help you get your teaching license and your master's degree. The technology education graduate program can facilitate this transition for you by providing the necessary courses and get you on your way to a master's degree in technology education.
