NonTraditional Careers: Career & Technical Education

Hello!

Now is the time to make a change. If you are considering a change, or not feeling satisfied in your current program, why not check out the many exciting 2-year programs offered for nontraditional career opportunities. This could be the perfect time to make a change that sets you on a rewarding, new path!

A Nontraditional by Gender (NTG) career is one which has not generally had as many men or women in a particular field. For example, women entering a STEM career as an engineer, or working in Criminal Justice – Police, or men entering Accounting, Paralegal, or working in Nursing and other health science careers all fall under the NTG category.

There are exceptional benefits about working in a NTG career: an increase in opportunities and potential growth, earning more money, and being part of progressive change. And the best part is you will not be alone. Support is available for students on every step of their journey towards a NTG career, in school and beyond. You can learn from the NTG leaders who have come before you, support staff, and other NTG students enrolled in these programs for continued guidance, training, inspiration, and connecting you to the resources needed to succeed.

The Perkins Team at SUNY Broome includes Enrollment, Academic and Career Coaches, as well as a Technical Assistant to support you throughout your journey towards a valuable NTG career.
