If you want to know what an Engineering Technician is, or what the pay is, what is required, or the job outlook for 2008-09, I found the government website with thier definition and statistics.

The difference between a Technical School and a Community College?  “Community colleges offer curriculums that are similar to those in technical institutes but include more theory and liberal arts.” 

If you have students who are curious, or if you are, take a gander over the site.
