Career and Technical Education is an option available to students interested
in vocational training upon entering 9th grade. Many students benefit
from this transition into vocational education. It affords students the
opportunity to prepare for a full vocational experience as they enter
11th grade. The traditional sequence for pre-vocational
students is Multiple Occupations in 9th grade, CORE in 10th grade, and
then a full vocational program in 11th and 12th grade.
The staff of these pre-vocational programs is flexible in best serving the needs of its student population.
Multi - Occupations - Coser 103
Multiple Occupations is a pre-vocational program which focuses on four
basic modules. These include: woodworking, culinary, small engine repair,
and landscaping. In the course of these modules, students learn how to
identify and use hand and power tools as they relate to specific projects.
Students in this program gain a real understanding of vocational education
as they are often assessed through hands-on assignments. Multiple Occupations
always incorporates community service into its curriculum. This offers
the students a valuable opportunity to contribute to their communities.
Core Program - Coser 103.010
CORE is a pre-vocational program established for students who would like to gain a better understanding of Career and Technical Education’s full vocational programs described throughout this brochure. The CORE experience allows the student to make an informed decision about how he/she will spend half of his/her 11th and 12th grade years. In CORE, students earn "internships" into the Career and Technical Education programs of their choice. These internships are shadowing experiences which occur one to two days per week. CORE also has community and entrepreneurship components. The entrepreneurship component is a student run business which can differ from year to year depending upon student interests.
Community Based Work Program - Coser 103.020
The Community Based Work Program (CBWP) helps students with special
needs learn essential workplace behaviors and habits through real-life
work experiences. The program is based on the philosophy of developing
independence, often enabling the student to transition from school to
employment in the community. The CBPW students participate on campus at
the Catskill Regional Medical Center (CRMC) where they work through the
Volunteer Dept. in a variety of areas such as Food Service, the Health
Clinic, the Information Desk, the
Environmental Department and others. Students receive daily instruction
from the Career and Technical Education teacher and are supported by the
CRMC staff members.
