High School
In high school, a core curriculum provides a solid foundation for career and employment technician work. Take courses in English, history, mathematics, business, psychology, and sociology. Computer science classes are essential for this type of work. Learning a foreign language is also useful for communicating with international students.
Postsecondary Education
When hiring a career guidance technician, most employers look for applicants who have completed two years of training beyond high school, usually at a junior, community, or technical college. These two-year programs, which usually lead to an associate's degree, may combine classroom instruction with practical or sometimes even on-the-job experience. Some of the skills you will need as a career and employment technician, such as testing-procedures, can be acquired only through on-the-job training.
