Ok, everybody has heard of Wikipedia. For those of you that might not know what I’m talking about… Wikipedia is a web-based encyclopedia project. Wikipedia’s articles provide links to guide the user to related pages with additional information. Basicly, it’s really cool. And anybody can add to it. 
So, I’m wanting to tell you about a certain section on Wikipedia. Their list of vocational education schools. Now, sense I’m not all that smart, I don’t know exactly what Vocational education is. So I looked it up on Wikipedia. lol. What I found:
Vocational education (or Vocational Education and Training (VET), also called Career and Technical Education (CTE)) prepares learners for careers that are based in manual or practical activities, traditionally non-academic and totally related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation, hence the term, in which the learner participates. It is sometimes referred to as technical education, as the learner directly develops expertise in a particular group of techniques or technology.
Now that we all know what everything is that I’m trying to tell you about…
Wikipedia only lists 92 vocational education schools. Reputable schools listed in Wikipedia under Vocational Education include colleges such as Durham Technical Community College, The Illinois institute of Art, Nouveau Riche University, and Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute
I’m about to go back to the site to check out what they might have for me.
