Кариера Тех Мрежата Career Tech на Оклахома от 29 технологични центъра в 59 кампуса обслужва учащи в гимназията и възрастни със специализирано кариерно обучение в повече от 90 области на обучение. Учениците от гимназията, живеещи в квартал на технологичния център, посещават редовни програми без обучение, ако бъдат приети в програма. С въздействието, което днешните технологии оказват върху професионалния свят, много студенти се оказват по-добре подготвени за колеж и кариера след завършване на обучението по Career Tech. Short Term Programs Какво представляват краткосрочните програми? Краткосрочните програми са програми, взети в център за кариерни технологии, които могат или не могат да доведат до сертифициране в индустрията. Тези програми са по-кратки от редовните програми; те обикновено варират от 6-8 седмици. За разлика от редовните програми, които са безплатни за учениците от гимназията, краткосрочните програми имат цена, свързана с тях. Как това ще е от полза за учениците? За студенти, които не са кандидатствали навреме за редовна програма или не са били приети в редовна програма поради различни обстоятелства, тези краткосрочни програми все още могат да помогнат на студентите да постигнат кариерните си цели. Краткосрочните програми все още могат да се считат за изискванията за следваща стъпка. За да се класирате за следващата стъпка: Програмата трябва да се състои от индустриално обучение, което ще доведе до сертифициране Програмата трябва да е поне 60 часа Ако програмата отговаря на горните квалификации, GSS ще добави тази програма към своя график като стаж. Кой плаща за краткосрочната програма? Ако ученикът разполага със средства в своя фонд за обучение, той ще изпрати фактурата до отдела за фонд за обучение, като прикачи фактурата в имейл и я изпрати до activity@epiccharterschools.org. Ако студентът няма налични средства, той ще трябва да плати от джоба си. Кариерна техническа карта Директория за кариерни технологии Full-Time Programs Кариерни технологии: Редовни програми Редовните програми са редовни гимназиални програми, които се преподават от сертифицирани професионални технически инструктори. Тези програми обикновено са от една до две години, които водят до сертифициране в индустрията. Учениците посещават всеки ден (П-П) по три часа на ден през учебната година. Някои от най-популярните програми са: Козметология Заваряване Автосервиз и ремонт на сблъсък Здравни грижи (предварително кърмене, дългосрочна здравна помощ и т.н.) Кулинарни изкуства HVAC ИТ (киберсигурност, ремонт на компютър и мрежа, програмиране и др.) Центровете за кариерни технологии предлагат много програми, включително изброените по-горе. Важно е да проверите уебсайта на вашия местен кариерен технолог, за да видите какви програми има. Как това ще е от полза за учениците? В допълнение към практическото обучение, учениците ще печелят 3 до 4 кредита за гимназия всяка година, когато са записани в редовна програма за гимназия в кариерен техник. В някои случаи студентите могат да спечелят до 32 кредита за колеж . Освен това в някои случаи те могат да спечелят напълно прехвърляема асоциирана степен. Студентите също така получават обучение за пригодност за заетост, включително съставяне на автобиография, симулативни интервюта и т.н. 94% от студентите могат да намерят работа, пряко свързана с тяхното обучение веднага след завършване на програмата си или могат да изберат да продължат образованието си в колеж или университет. Колко струва обучението за редовни програми? Обучението е безплатно за ученици, които живеят в един от училищните квартали, обслужван от определен център за кариерни технологии. За да проверите местоположенията, посетете тук < /u>. Ами ако не живея в някой от районите, които обслужва кариерната технология? Обучението за редовни програми за студенти извън областта може да бъде доста скъпо. Парите от фонда за обучение не биха могли да покрият разходите. Най-добре е да кандидатствате в центъра за кариерни технологии, който обслужва района, в който живее студентът. Като алтернатива може да има достъпна краткосрочна програма с обучението в индустрията, което студентът търси. Ами ако центърът за кариерни технологии няма програмата, която ме интересува? Ако сте достатъчно близо до друг център за кариерни технологии, който има програма, за която искате да кандидатствате, можете да кандидатствате в този център за кариерни технологии и да поискате писмо за прехвърляне (писмо за реципрочност). Съветниците/съветниците във всеки център за кариерни технологии са запознати със споразуменията за реципрочност. Например, Mid-Del Technology Center в Midwest City няма основна програма за пожарникар. Технологичният център на Metro в Оклахома Сити прави. Студент, който живее в центъра на Mid-Del Tech, може да кандидатства в Metro Tech и пак да посещава безплатно. Metro Tech просто трябва да получи писмото за реципрочност от Mid-Del Tech.

Стъпка 7: Започнете своята програма Career Tech Има ли цена за участие в програма за кариерни технологии? Студенти, които са записани в редовна програма в кариерен технолог в определения им район, няма да бъдат таксувани за обучение. Редовните програми са безплатни за ученици от гимназията. Задочните програми/за възрастни/вечерните програми не са безплатни и не предлагат кредит за гимназия. Тези програми все още могат да бъдат много полезни за студентите. Възможно е, ако студентът разполага с пари от фонд за обучение, те да помогнат за покриване на разходите за обучение или книги. Осигурен ли е транспорт? Не, транспортът не се осигурява автоматично. Въпреки това, в някои случаи кариерните техници могат да работят с отделното семейство, за да позволят на автобуса да вземе ученик на обществено място по пътя между местната гимназия и сайта за кариерни технологии. Друг вариант може да бъде, ако местният училищен район позволи на ученика да се качи на автобуса на мястото на местното училище и да бъде транспортиран с местните гимназисти. Ако ученик се нуждае от помощ за транспортиране и това възпрепятства способността му да посещава програма, в която е приет, моля, свържете се с Хадли Уолтърс на hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org Може ли ученик по IEP да кандидатства за кариерна техническа програма? Да. Студентите с IEP са добре дошли да кандидатстват за кариерни технически програми. Моят ученик не беше приет в програмата по избор, какви други възможности има той/тя? Много програми са силно конкурентни и макар това да е разочароващо, има няколко опции. Първата опция е да попитате кариерния техник дали студентът може да бъде поставен в списъка на талията за програмата. Следващата опция е да говорите с кариерния технолог, за да видите дали програмата се предлага чрез програма за възрастни/вечер. Тези програми обикновено се наричат краткосрочни програми. Въпреки че може да има цена, ученикът все още може да присъства и да научи умението/професията, която го интересува. Моят ученик е младши или старши и се интересува от кариерни технологии. Дали е твърде късно? Не, никога не е твърде късно за ученик. Ние насърчаваме всички студенти да работят с местните кариерни технологии, за да проучат възможностите. Студентите могат да започнат програма по време на гимназията и ако завършат, те могат да продължат след дипломирането си и да получат стипендии за покриване на разходите за обучение. Комуникацията е ключова! Моят ученик пропусна крайния срок за приоритетно записване, може ли да кандидатства? Да. Повечето центрове за кариерни технологии все още приемат заявления след крайния срок за приоритетно записване. Някои центрове за кариерни технологии посочват кога са спрели да приемат заявления, но повечето все още го правят след крайния срок за приоритетно записване. Най-доброто нещо, което можете да направите, е да проверите уебсайта за кариерния технолог, който ви интересува. Кога е най-доброто време да кандидатствам в моя местен кариерен технолог? Най-доброто време за кандидатстване в местния кариерен техник е есенният семестър, преди да възнамерявате да се запишете. Например, бихте кандидатствали през есента на втората си година, за да се надяваме да бъдете настанени в програма на пълно работно време във вашата кариерна технология по време на вашата младша година. Процесът на кандидатстване отнема няколко месеца, така че е най-добре да получите молбата си по-рано преди крайния срок за приоритетно записване. Вижте въпроса по-горе относно пропускането на приоритетния краен срок. Моят ученик получава ли кредит за гимназия, ако е записан в програма на кариерен технолог? Да. Ако тяхната програма е редовна гимназиална програма. В много центрове за кариерни технологии студентите имат възможност да се запишат в краткосрочни програми. Краткосрочните програми обикновено са с продължителност 6 седмици и въпреки че могат да доведат до сертифициране в индустрията, те обикновено не се преподават от сертифициран CTE инструктор и не са одобрени от Държавния департамент по образование (SDE) като допустими програми за дават кредит за средно образование. Също така е важно да се отбележи, че краткосрочните програми не са безплатни за студенти. Редовните програми за гимназия се преподават от сертифицирани CTE инструктори, одобрени са от SDE за получаване на кредит за гимназия и са безплатни за ученика, ако живее в отговарящ на условията училищен квартал. Колко кредита ще получи моят студент след завършване на програма за кариерни технологии? По-голямата част от кариерните технологични програми ще доведат до 3 избираеми кредита. Някои програми включват академичен кредит, ако са записани в клас като биология, основи на технологиите, тригонометрия/предварително смятане и т.н., като част от тяхната кариерна техническа програма. Студентът ще получи академичен кредит (компютърни науки, природни науки или математика) и кредит по избор в зависимост от програмата. Повечето програми в кариерните технологични центрове са одобрени за общо 3-4 кредита. Така че, ако студент спечели 1 пълен академичен кредит за Основи на технологиите, който е включен в неговата кариерна техническа програма, той ще получи 1 кредит по компютърни науки и 2 избираеми кредита за общо 3 спечелени кредита. За допълнителни въпроси не се колебайте да се свържете с Хадли Уолтърс, технически съветник по кариерни въпроси на hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org Как да разбера дали моята кариерна техническа програма е одобрена за кредит за гимназия? Държавният департамент по образование разполага с ресурс, който да ни помогне да разберем коя програма може да се счита за кредит за гимназия, избираема или друга.
