CAREER PATHWAYS IN TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY
These classes are designed to provide a foundation in engineering and related design sectors for students. Our instructional programs offer integrated courses of study by combining academic learning with career and technical training. Career pathways such as Engineering, Architecture, Applied Math and Science, Construction Technology, Manufacturing, and Automotive Technology are offered as specialized areas of interest. To prepare students for continued success in these careers, these programs offer students a multi-faceted approach using these components: classroom and hands-on contextual learning, project and work based instruction, internships, career technical education, and leadership & interpersonal skills development. In addition, articulation agreements with the Santa Rosa Junior College will allow students to meet prerequisites for SRJC courses with high school coursework. Academic coursework in science, mathematics and English are part of the core curriculum in addition to the coursework in these exciting and challenging electives.
