[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similarly, the veterinary program isn’t to become a veterinarian (doctoral degree) or a vet tech (associates degree). It’s to become a vet ASSISTANT, who usually receive on-the-job training only. Vet techs assist with procedures. Vet assistants clean and help with admin work.[/quote] AT has a huge branding problem. ACC trains kids to get jobs right out of high school. AT is college prep. While they can take ACC classes and do and often do that thing as a part time job in college, it's different. But please, don't go to tech. You clearly don't value it so stay away. Make room for the kids who get it and it gets them.[/quote] ACC also provides training in multiple fields including aviation, and culinary arts, for example, that do not preclude college. The electives there have been popular with all types of APS and FCCPS students for many decades now and that will not change. [/quote]
