Extractions: front page search community CONSUMER LAW Tips for choosing a vocational school (Published January 10, 2000) By MICHAEL TANKERSLEY Every year thousands of people enroll in vocational schools to develop the skills that they need to apply for new or better jobs as auto mechanics, chefs, computer operators, nurses, cosmetologists, security guards and similar positions. Good vocational training is one of the best ways to get the training needed for specialized jobs and to qualify for higher pay. However, vocational training can also be a disaster. Many individuals who have enrolled in vocational schools with high hopes have left the schools with large debts that they cannot repay and have not improved their ability to get a good job. Vocational schools cost money, and if a school does not provide training that will lead to a better job, the money is not well spent. The initial out-of-pocket cost of enrolling in a vocational school may seem small because schools often offer loans to cover most of the expense. The loans, however, may impose a crushing debt burden in the future. If you are considering vocational training, be sure to carefully research the school before you enroll or sign any papers. Here are some tips on how to evaluate vocational training:

Extractions: Thursday, June 6, 2002; Page A08 Pervasive sex segregation persists in high school vocational programs around the country including in Maryland and Virginia 30 years after Congress passed a law barring such discrimination in education, according to a study released today. The D.C.-based National Women's Law Center plans to file legal petitions today in all 12 regions of the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, requesting investigations into whether vocational and technical high schools and classes violate Title IX and demanding that action be taken to remedy all conduct that does not comply with federal law. "There are just stunning patterns of sex segregation in schools across the country," said Jocelyn Samuels, vice president and director of educational opportunities for the law center. "The primary problems in career ed are inattention and lack of perception that there is a problem." The center's survey on vocational programs marks the 30th anniversary of the federal law Title IX of the Education Amendments that bars sex discrimination in schools and other educational programs receiving federal funds. That includes almost all public elementary and secondary schools and most colleges and universities.
