Our Career and Technical Education Department prepares students for future success by providing meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that connect classroom instruction to real-world career opportunities. Through events like Navig8 Lake, students engage with local employers, explore various industries, and discover career pathways that align with their interests and goals.
Our SkillsUSA students are also developing leadership, teamwork, and community service skills through their Chemo Bags project. By assembling care packages for cancer patients undergoing treatment, students are learning the importance of compassion, giving back, and making a positive impact in their community.
Through our growing partnership with LMT Onsrud, students are gaining valuable exposure to manufacturing careers through a 10-hour career exploration experience. This collaboration helps students understand industry expectations while laying the groundwork for a potential pre-apprenticeship program that could create additional pathways to future employment.
We are also proud to celebrate our students' academic and technical achievements! Students from our Washington and Brookside campuses have earned 29 certifications in Professional Communication, Digital Literacy, and Microsoft Office Word. These accomplishments reflect their dedication to developing essential skills and demonstrate our department's continued commitment to career readiness, workforce preparation, and student success.
