The healthcare industry is expected to see growth in Colorado. Ambulance drivers in Denver, Colorado make an average of $27,900, while clinical nurse specialists earn $80,300 on average. No educational program can guarantee a particular career or salary, of course, but completing a job training program offers evidence of a worker's commitment to the field.
While Denver is Colorado's largest city and home to a number of job opportunities, Fort Collins was recently named by Fast Company magazine as a research & development hot spot in their list of 30 Fastest Cities to Live, Work, and Play. The magazine noted that Fort Collins is a leader in business and technology innovation, partially due to research programs at Colorado State University as well as local companies LSI Logic and Advanced Energy Industries.
