白领美丽英文诵典365 -092 Take a Closer Look at Career（在线收听）

When it comes to career training many people automatically think of getting a college education first. Others think about a vocational education being the key to having a career. Whatever it is that comes to mind it is important to give serious consideration to career training. Without this training a person is most likely going to be stuck in a dead end job with no prospects of bettering oneself.

Before moving on, lets define career training. Basically it prepares students for careers that are traditionally non-academic and directly related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation, hence the term, in which the student participates. It is sometimes referred to as technical education, as the student directly develops expertise in aparticular technique or technology.

Career training is a good option for young persons who have not yet entered the workforce. It can also be for persons who are new to the workforce and have limited work experience. Career training can give such persons the opportunity to learn about a profession or skill that will make them more employable. Learning proper on-the-job etiquette and workplace ethics makes them more attractive to employers and gives them a competitive edge over those who have not received such training.

Career training also teaches students techniques, skills and practical solutions that can be used in the real world. It is not just book knowledge that is acquired but actual hands on training. In other words, the student doesn't readabout how to do the job the student actually does the job. This is a huge advantage over those who have only studied the theory of how to do a job but never had the chance to practice what they learned. Students who have received training will feel comfortable entering the workplace secure in the knowledge and experience they have gained.

Those who have been in the workforce for many years can also benefit from career training. Oftentimes such people have become bored or stagnant in their present occupation. Training can help them to turn over a new leaf in their life. An entirely new and different career path can be chosen and learned by just about anyone. If a complete career change is more than a person wants to take on, career training can also provide refresher courses and skills upgrades. If a person is happy with their career, but wants to improve their knowledge career training can provide assistance. Expanding their knowledge base can also help those in the workforce make career advancement.

For those who have long been in the workplace but have been laid off, once again, career training can help them get back on track. They can learn a new skill or be re-trained in their former profession. This can give a much needed boost to a bruised ego or revitalize the spirit. This type of training provides that all important focus and direction so that those unemployed can regain control of their professional lives.

So, what can career training do for you specifically:

1. It can train you for employment.

2. Provides specific preparation that may be necessary to perform one or many tasks in your employment.

3. It can give you confidence, so that you have a productive and satisfying work experience.
