Certificates

Workforce certificates can be earned by completing the requirements of an association for ​a particular trade, such as plumbing, security, or certain types of computer technology. ​Often a certification takes only one year to complete if you go to school full time. ​Sometimes, a certificate is earned as part of an apprenticeship.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a great way to learn the skills required for specific occupations, like ​electricians, carpenters or roofers. These apprenticeships typically come with a wage, and ​some even allow you to earn an associate degree simultaneously. Apprenticeships vary in ​length, but typically last between 2 and 5 years. Go to apprenticeship.gov/ apprenticeship-​job-finder for more information or https://apprenticeship.utah.gov/

Associate’s Degree

An associate degree is a two-year college degree that you can obtain from a community ​college, junior college, online university, or some four-year institutions in the US. In terms ​of education, an associate degree falls between a high school diploma and a bachelor's ​degree.

Bachelor's Degree

Bachelor’s degrees generally take four years to complete if you go to school full time. B.A. ​(Bachelor of Arts) degrees are often found in the liberal arts. They generally require courses in ​humanities, math, english, sciences, social sciences and language. B.S. (Bachelor of Science) ​degrees prepare people for careers in areas such as accounting, engineering and education. Like ​the B.A., the B.S. degrees require general courses in math, english, sciences and social sciences, ​but usually fewer courses in the humanities.

Master's Degree

Master’s degrees take your education to a higher level than a traditional degree. Participation in a ​Master’s degree follows your bachelor’s degree and usually requires two extra years of full-time ​study with more tests and classes. For some fields, like law, a master’s degree is a professional ​degree that you need to enter into the industry. Most graduates with professional degrees are able ​to enter the workforce equipped with the knowledge necessary for the industry they’ll be working ​in.

Doctorate Degree

The time to earn a doctorate degree varies greatly by program and by the student’s motivation. Most ​doctorate students begin by taking classes, but end their studies by writing a dissertation or participating in ​a residency program. Many fields, such as history or english, require a dissertation – lengthy, original ​research, kind of like a book, that defends a student’s stance on a given subject and usually takes two or ​more years to complete. A residency allows a student to practice their skills in a controlled setting. For ​example, residencies for medical doctors are three or more years and take place in a hospital.

Military degrees

Military degrees allow you to serve your country while taking your education to the next level. ​Some programs allow you to enroll in a traditional college (with paid tuition) while others take ​place at military-only institutions. If you’re in the military, speak to your superiors about your ​options.

Practice mindful breathing:

Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and focus on your breath. Inhale deeply, feeling the air entering your body, and exhale slowly, letting go of tension. Observe each breath without judgment, staying present in the sensations. When your mind wanders, gently redirect your attention back to the breath. This technique helps anchor you in the present moment, promoting relaxation and clarity.

Suicide awareness is crucial to save lives. It involves understanding warning signs, such as withdrawal, hopelessness, or talking about death. Listening non-judgmentally and offering support to those in distress is vital. Encouraging open conversations about mental health and removing the stigma surrounding seeking help is essential. Educating communities about available resources like helplines and mental health services empowers individuals to reach out for assistance. Together, we can promote empathy and compassion, fostering a safe environment for those struggling with suicidal thoughts, and ultimately, reduce the devastating impact of suicide on individuals, families, and society.
