Becoming a drafter is a solid career move, simply because your skills will always be in demand. There will always be a need to create CAD drawings from specifications, architectural drawings, or designs from engineers in all fields. You will take on the role of someone who takes a concept and turns it into a fully realized computer model, making you an integral part of the design and planning process. If you’ve always wanted to be at the forefront of design and innovation, then a drafting education at ITI Technical College can help you to realize your goals.

It is so important to have the right skills, and that’s why taking a structured course of study at a recognized learning institution is your first step to success. At ITI, you can study for an Associate’s Degree in Occupational Studies, which will prepare you for employment in a number of ways.

One of the most important skills you will learn with an Associate’s Degree in Occupational Studies is a computer-aided drafting (CAD). By becoming skilled in the industry-leading AutoCAD software, you’ll be able to work quickly and efficiently to bring concepts and specifications to life in full 3D models. At ITI, you’ll learn about multi-view drawings, which will be essential when working on products like tools and machinery, or larger projects like homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure. The more you learn about AutoCAD and the more comfortable you become with the software, the better you will be able to demonstrate your skills in the professional world. If you’re someone who can complete drafting projects quickly and accurately, then you’re going to gain more recognition and have better chances to further your career.

What You Can Expect With Drafting Education

As a junior drafter, it will be your job to take designs provided by architects or engineers and turn them into accurate technical drawings that can be used to further any particular project. Drafters are employed in a range of industries, but you can choose to specialize in an area that interests you the most. If you want to work on the buildings of tomorrow, then you’ll want to focus on architectural drafting. If you like the challenge of working on machinery, product, and tool design, then you may be more interested in mechanical drafting. You can seek advice and support throughout your drafting education, allowing you to explore and develop your skills in an environment that is designed to help you succeed.

According to BLS.gov the median salary of a drafter is over $52,000 per year, making the industry highly rewarding from a financial perspective. Since the drafting industry is highly competitive, you’ll need to not only be highly motivated in order to stand out but you’ll also need your Associate’s Degree. If you enjoy a career that is challenging, the job satisfaction and financial compensation are well worth it.
