Online Student Career Information

At www.aedfoundation.org/careers, The AED Foundation provides students, student career influencers, guidance counselors, recruiters and others with information about how to explore specifically the attractive equipment dealer technician career opportunity.
It’s tough today to try to get the attention of students and those having an impact on their career decisions.

• Students today are bombarded with career materials from all directions.
• There has been and remains a culture with a bias toward 4-year degrees and white collar professions.
• In many places, student technicians still have to deal with the old “grease monkey” or “vocational education" stereotypes.
• Those stereotypes are present in the attitudes of many parents and career counselors.

It is up to the industry to approach all the aforementioned people and biases, and work to change these attitudes to reflect the reality of today. That is, equipment technicians are highly skilled, well-educated professionals that work on very sophisticated and complex machinery. These jobs provide excellent compensation, interesting and challenging work, high employer demand, personal and professional growth and job satisfaction. These career web pages are designed to communicate these ideas to young people nationwide.
