A Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center education
is challenging. Students progress at
their own rate and level of ability.
Following completion of a technical program, students are ready to step
confidently into the world, believing in the dignity and worth of all
work. They are committed to achieving
success on the job, in college, in the military or wherever their paths may
lead. Students upon successful
completion of their technical program can earn various industry certifications.
Many employment opportunities both now and in the future
require technical education. Students from WMCTC can successfully advance to
college with the necessary academic prerequisites. It is important to maintain a rigorous
academic program at your high school to complement your technical program at
WMCTC.
WMCTC is proud to be a part of the TCTW
initiative in PA
(Technology Centers That Work)
The Technology
Centers That Work initiative was formed in 2007 and is designed specifically to
assist shared-time centers in reviewing and implementing actions needed to
produce high-demand, high-wage graduates who will be leaders in their selected
careers. It is based on the belief that
most students can master complex academic and technical concepts if schools
create an environment that encourages students to make the effort to succeed. WMCTC is a partner with your high school to
provide direction and meaning to obtaining your career goal.
WMCTC is also proud to be part of SOAR
(Students Occupationally and Academically
Ready)
SOAR is built on
programs of study (POS) that incorporate secondary and postsecondary education
elements to ensure relevant career and technical content. Students can earn college credits through
statewide articulation agreements while they are still in high school by
successfully completing our programs of study.
SOAR programs prepare today’s student for High Priority Occupations
which include career categories that are in high demand by employers, have
higher skill needs, and are most likely to provide family sustaining
wages.
*Programs of study—programs approved by the
state in meeting with CTE program standards.
These programs provide students with career planning opportunities and
college success.
