New! Pre-Vocational Exploration Course
New for fall 2023-2024 - enrolling in winter 2022!
Pre-Vocational Exploration
This exciting, all-new program opens the doors to the Tech Center like never before, creating an option for students who are ready to learn the very basics of being a good employee, including:
- following directions
- the importance of attendance
- completing tasks
- following safety rules
Students in this year-long program explore one of the following areas each quarter:
- Human Services (teaching, childcare, hospitality)
- Industrial Technology (automotive, manufacturing, construction)
- Business Services (marketing, retail, office services)
- General vocational skill development (work safety, work culture)
Like our Intro to Career Technical Education and traditional programs, students learn in the classroom and get hands-on experience in our labs. They also continue the development of their Educational Development Plan (EDP), post-secondary education and work goals, and any Transition Plan activities.
Students who successfully complete this program have several options for their next step.
*The Pre-Vocational Exploration program is not a state-approved CTE program. Completion of the program counts as elective credit.
