Vocational educators provide instruction, to upgrade their skills while already working.
Vocational educators also design and organize training programs, demonstrate job skills, lecture in a classroom, and evaluate individuals' progress. Many vocational educators practice the occupations they teach, usually specializing in a particular occupation, such as nursing, computer programming, automotive mechanics, or dental hygiene. To remain current in both their occupation and teaching, many vocational educators will continue taking classes or hold outside jobs. Some of these careers require additional education or experience.
