Do you enjoy working with your hands? Are you a problem-solver?
Does being a member of a team responsible for building or manufacturing
a product interest you? Are you a woman who prefers working outdoors?
If yes, there are many occupational opportunities that you should
consider.
Occupations in the trades involve mostly hands-on applications
and translating theory into products. Individuals with this training
can work with technicians and engineers to develop products. In
addition, careers in the trades may include employment in construction.
Careers in technology involve more application of theory than
the trades. Normally technicians require a two-year degree. If
you enjoy math and science these occupations may be of interest
to you. Industries that employ individuals with this training
may include electronics, automotive and manufacturing.
