Career Programs

Students receive superior technical training in seven career and technical education programs.

The three-year career and technical education curriculum develops educational and career goals and provides on-the-job learning experience. It offers students whose talents and career goals are best served by a comprehensive academic/career and technical education program the opportunity to acquire marketable competencies and/or the foundation for post-secondary career education. Each program offers students the opportunity to earn professional certification/licensing.

Each program has an Occupational Advisory Council (OAC) whose members are from a like business/industry and have a current working knowledge of the career field. The OACs ensure the curriculum is current and relevant, provide Co-Op opportunities, and are often guest speakers in the various programs.

All 9th grade students receive a Career Exploration course during their first semester of freshman year. This course helps guide their career and technical program selection decision. The freshmen begin their chosen program in the second semester of freshman year.

Most 12th grade students participate in Mercy Tech's Cooperative Education Program.
