Selecting a program

Career Development is an ongoing process that begins in Kindergarten and continues beyond high school.  Using the Ohio Means Jobs K-12 online career system, students take assessments, establish academic and career goals and research career and post-secondary opportunities.  In the 8th grade, students visit C-TEC and are shown the career/technical programs offered during their junior and senior years of high school.  This is the first orientation to the benefits of participating in career/technical education.  Another experience is Sophomore Hands-On where students sign up to explore two programs they may be interested in applying to for their junior and senior years of high school.  There is also an Open House in September where sophomores and their parents are invited to see the school and meet the instructors at C-TEC.  Evenings of Exploration are also scheduled in the fall and winter to help answer any questions parents and students may have regarding career/technical education.
