Community colleges offer associate in applied science (AAS) degrees, and associate transfer degrees. The AAS degrees are very career oriented and designed to give a student all the expertise necessary to enter the workforce immediately after completion of the program. However, the AAS degree may not be easily transferable to a four years college or university, but it depends on the specific program of study (major). You should meet with a career counselor at the school for the options that exist particular to your overall career goals and objectives.
There is Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester, Virginia that offers carpentry.

While college offers students theory, vocational schooling teaches application. If you want a career in a trade, such as an electrician or plumber, vocational school is all you need. A quality vocational school offers the technical information and hands on experience needed without an associates or bachelors degree.

Vocational school is many times less expensive than attending a regular college or university, but it is important to realize that the quality of education taken away from a vocational program may not be as good as one learned in college. Many vocational programs are good entry-level programs, but graduates are many times ineligible for required certifications that they may need in their prospective career.
No. A vocational school is not a college, and therefore the course work does qualify as work leading to a college degree. They both may have some similar programs of study, but a vocational school is not authorized to award college degrees.
There are good after school programs for teenagers. The YMCA offers after school programs. Community centers are locations where your teen can go also.
Every high school offers different programs. It's best to check with the school and see if they are able to provide a list of available after school programs for you to look over.
