The Career Tech Center programs are designed to prepare students for the world of work or further education and training. There are many different course offerings. All the programs have "state of the art" equipment and are performance based. Emphasis is on the Mastery of Knowledge and Skills required to complete a task. Several programs have articulation agreements with local colleges, whereby students can earn college course credit for work at the Career Tech Center. All the instructors are accomplished experts in their respective fields. Several programs offer New York State certification and/or licensing upon successful completion and testing. National certification is also an option in many programs.
