Career Technical Education

   The technology courses assist the students in acquiring personal and technical skills that will enable them to gain employment with job entry-level skills or to enter a post-secondary training program, an apprenticeship, and/or a college or university for additional training. The technology curricula are designed to be 2 or 3-year programs for students in grades 10, 11, and 12. The first year gives students basic theory and training in a variety of activities. Second-year students receive advanced lab training and on-the-job experience. Third-year courses are available in most areas. Students must have the permission of the instructor and be involved in work-based learning. Clubs are an integral part of each technical course and are designed to develop leadership.
