The Benefits of Attending Trade School

Trade schools, also known as vocational or technical schools, offer specialized education and focused training in various skilled trades. While traditional four-year colleges and universities are often the go-to choice for those seeking higher education, attending trade school offers unique benefits that make it an attractive option. Here are some of the advantages of attending trade school.

  • Practical Education: If you are looking for focused education and hands-on experience, trade school is the right choice for you. The training you receive will be directly applicable to the specific industry or occupation you have chosen. Trade and technical schools focus on teaching the practical knowledge and skills you’ll need to succeed throughout your career.
  • Cost-Effective: Trade and technicals can usually be completed in less time than it takes to finish a traditional four-year degree. In fact, some programs can be completed in a matter of several months, depending on the field of study you choose. This shorter time frame allows you to enter the workforce sooner and start earning a salary without accumulating significant student loan debt.
  • Job Security: Trade skills are in high demand across various industries. Technical school will give you the hands-on experience you need to find a job as soon as you complete your program, increasing your employability immediately. You will also have the opportunity to make professional connections while still in school, which can lead to further opportunities down the road. The demand for skilled trade workers will ensure that there will always be work for you.
  • Career Opportunities: Trade careers often offer competitive salaries and lucrative opportunities to grow professionally. Skilled tradespeople are highly valued for their expertise and specialized knowledge, which can lead to higher earning potential compared to some traditional college graduates. As a trade and technical school graduate, you are well-placed to find employment or even start your own business.

Whether you are seeking a quick entry into the workforce or looking to enter into business for yourself, trade school can be an excellent pathway to success. If you’re considering a career in trade, reach out to Industrial Management & Training Institute. We offer programs in a variety of fields throughout the New Haven, Danbury, Bridgeport, Waterbury, and Bristol, CT areas.

  • Good evening Louie, I wanted to thank you for the AC/DC class you taught for me, Fred, Joe, Rob and Will. It was a great class and you did a great job hitting all the areas that we needed the most. You made the class very interesting and related as much as possible to what we do in our jobs. You are obviously extremely knowledgeable yet you were able to communicate at every level to every one of us. I spent 4 days with 4 very intelligent co-workers and I know we all learned a lot thanks to you. Thanks again for sharing some of your knowledge with us, I know we all took a lot from the class. It was great meeting you and I hope our paths cross again.

  • Long ago, as a young apprentice in the plumbing field, I learned of a job opportunity in the educational system for the city of Waterbury. Since this job required applicants to have a plumbing license, I attempted to study on my own and take the test. So I found as many books as I could at the library and worked hard to get ready. But the books alone were not enough. They didn’t provide a structured format for my studies and lacked many of the details I needed to pass. After failing twice, I found myself looking for a better way.

    When I found IMTI, they were just starting up, offering weekend courses to prepare students for the state plumbing exam. The quality of the coursework, the structure of the program and the guidance of the experienced instructors was exactly what I needed. I was able to pass the test the very next time I took it, and I got the job that launched my 25-year career. 

    Years later, I found out about a new job opportunity that required a deep knowledge of HVAC, and once again I turned to IMTI. Over the next year of my studies, it was a pleasure to find out that the quality of their curriculum had only improved. And since I wasn’t always the best student, I came to appreciate the commitment of their instructors as they helped me learn the material and successfully complete the class. I took the State board plumbing and heating test, got my license and passed test on very first try. And with the help of IMTI, I once again secured the job I was seeking. 

    If someone asked me where to turn for help with instruction or licensing in the trades I’d turn them directly towards IMTI. Their excellent curriculum, the structure of their programs, the quality of their people and their commitment to their students’ success created a winning combination for me, and I’d recommend IMTI to anyone who needs help. I have a personal connection with IMTI, and consider it my alma mater.

    They even asked me to come back and help fill in as an instructor, and I’ve seen that their programs have grown even further since my time as a student there, and I’ve also been asked to be on the advisory board. As an active member for several years, I’ve seen IMTI strive to achieve the best in academic excellence and help potential tradesmen achieve their goals. If it wasn’t for IMTI, I would never have gotten my job with city, served for 25 years or achieved the financial security I have today. I’m forever thankful to Marcel Veronneau for his patience, understanding and dedication to helping students achieve their goals in work, and in life. And I’m proud to be, in some small way, part of the team that does so much to help young people.
