Dorsey Schools has been a trusted provider of career training and education in Michigan for over 80 years. Throughout that time, Dorsey has helped thousands of men and women train for exciting new careers in fields such as allied health, cosmetology, culinary arts, skilled trades, and business support specialties. Dorsey has been and continues to be a partner in helping its students along with the communities in which they live and work and that’s why Dorsey Schools has long operated with the saying, Michigan Skills for Michigan Jobs.
As part of their continued commitment, Dorsey Schools has recently released three Career Outlook Guides that can be downloaded for free from the Dorsey Schools website. The Career Outlook guides are meant to be an additional resource for those who may be looking at training for a new career. For some, they may be tired of going from one job to the next. For others, they may wish to transition from a “job” into more of a career. Others may simply be looking to make a better life for themselves and/or their family. Regardless of the specific reason, Dorsey has introduced these guides that take a closer look at projected job growth, details about specific programs, and a look at what someone may expect in certain careers. The Career Outlook Guides are currently available for various Healthcare/Medical programs, Cosmetology, and Culinary Arts.

For example, some may wish to work inside a doctor’s office as a Medical Assistant, where others may find more fulfillment providing home health care as a Patient Care Technician.
