Georgia Vocational and Technical Schools
The Georgia Department of Labor (DOL) predicts that, in the next decade, the greatest career opportunities in the state will be for medical assistants, dental hygienists and dental assistants, and network systems and data communications analysts. These projections reflect an increased demand nationwide for workers in the healthcare and computer industries. So whether you're one of many residents in Atlanta or one of 579 in Adrian, completion of a Georgia vocational or technical school program in one of these industries is a safe bet.
Medical assistants come out at the top of the Georgia DOL's projections, with an expected annual growth rate of 5.4%. But even with huge job growth in the industry, those with a minimum of 1-2 years of vocational school training will have better chances of landing a job. There are a number of Georgia vocational schools which offer medical assisting programs that can give you these skills and credentials.
