Education and Training Educational training provides instruction at all academic levels from preschool, elementary and high schools, to colleges, universities, trade schools, tutoring, and counseling. It is also one of the fastestgrowing industries in the U.S. with a projected growth of 7.6% between 2014 and 2024 4. In Greater Phoenix, the fastest-growing areas in education are preschool, middle school, high school, and special education 7. Careers in education are growing in part because more people are returning to school to enhance their skills, more federal standards have to be met, and a high percentage of teachers will retire in the coming years. Most jobs in education require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, which you can get with any number of Maricopa transfer partners.

Health Sciences Health science professionals work in hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, and medical labs. As the number of Americans age 65 years and older increases, demand for jobs is also expected to grow. Experts say two-thirds of the fastest growing jobs in the U.S. in the next 10 years are in health or health-related sectors4. Depending on the career you choose, many states require health science employees to be certified in their profession; Maricopa Community Colleges offers a path to those certifications. Major employers in Greater Phoenix include Banner Health, Dignity Health, Mayo Clinic, UnitedHealthcare of Arizona, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, HonorHealth, and Abrazo Community Health Network6.

Health sciences also include bioscience, the technological application of the life sciences (biology, genetics, ecology, etc.) to produce products for the needs of humanity. In the decades ahead, research into our understanding of biology promises to advance the knowledge of human health, agriculture, and environmental protection. You won’t necessarily need advanced degrees to work in biosciences. For example, graduates of technical institutes or community colleges, or those who have completed college courses in chemistry, biology, mathematics, or engineering will be needed in the industry. Jobs in bioscience are growing fast, and Greater Phoenix has made significant investments in the bioscience sector in recent years. Major employers include Mayo Clinic, Sonora Quest Laboratories, Barrow Neurological Institute, Medtronic Microelectronics Center, and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) 6.
