While many homeschoolers proceed to university, not everyone wants to pursue academic career paths. A major element of any homeschooling program should focus on preparing students for their future in the world of work. We have gathered some in-demand vocational courses for students who wish to pursue traditional trades such as plumbing and carpentry. The digital technology sector is vast and welcoming to people with a natural aptitude for coding and students can get a solid grounding in programming with our free homeschool programs. There are thousands of courses available on Alison.com, with more being added every week. If you don’t find what you are looking for here, do a search on the website.

If you are good with your hands, why not consider one of the traditional trades such as plumbing, electrical work, carpentry or masonry? You can choose to work in a team on large commercial or public projects or aim to become self-employed and focus on domestic homes. You can specialize in creating hand-crafted furniture, become the go-to person when a wiring job is more complex than usual, or be part of the team that makes an architect’s designs a reality. People often enter this field through an apprenticeship.
