Oregon Vocational and Technical Schools

Oregon is a land of contrasts, from the heavily forested coast to the fertile Willamette Valley to the arid prairie of the Southeast. Recreation opportunities around Mt. Hood, Bend, and Crater Lake draw many visitors every year. Portland also supports the tourism trade with an up-and-coming culinary scene and a thriving artist community.

Oregon vocational and technical school students should have little trouble finding their niche in this diverse state. Portland is a center for arts and design, fine dining and tourism. On the other end of the spectrum, Hillsboro and Beaverton are home to technology giants Intel and Tektronix. Oregon technical school graduates will encounter many opportunities in computers, telecommunications and other fields.

Oregon college and vocational school students enjoy a high standard of living in this relatively affordable state. What's more, life is fun here--cities like Portland, Bend and Eugene feature a youthful, energetic scene with plenty of creative and outdoor activities.
