As Postsecondary Adult Vocational Programs (CTE) programs, our workforce programs are performance based and offer training that provides an opportunity for students to earn a variety of industry certifications and credentials sought by local and regional employers, in high demand occupations.
Our students receive expert instruction from our faculty and our curriculum showcases effective teaching and skills integration, and engages hands-on practice to promote subject matter and skill mastery.
Some of our programs are offered in a high technology environment at the Advanced Technology College.
Many excellent career opportunities in business and industry exist for the motivated student.
Many of our program graduates gain additional experience by working part-time in their field of study while attending classes.
Our students can also apply academic credit while enrolled in most of our workforce programs, qualifying them for the option of pursuing an A.S. Degree in Industrial Management Technology.
