carrera tecnica La red Career Tech de Oklahoma de 29 centros tecnológicos en 59 campus sirve a estudiantes de secundaria y adultos con capacitación profesional especializada en más de 90 áreas educativas. Los estudiantes de secundaria que viven en un distrito de centros tecnológicos asisten a programas de tiempo completo sin costo de matrícula, si son aceptados en un programa. Con el impacto que la tecnología actual tiene en el mundo profesional, muchos estudiantes se encuentran mejor preparados para la universidad y las carreras después de completar la instrucción de Career Tech. Short Term Programs ¿Qué son los programas a corto plazo? Los programas a corto plazo son programas tomados en un centro de tecnología profesional que pueden o no conducir a una certificación de la industria. Estos programas son más cortos que los programas de tiempo completo; normalmente varían de 6 a 8 semanas de duración. A diferencia de los programas de tiempo completo que son gratuitos para los estudiantes de secundaria, los programas a corto plazo tienen un costo asociado. ¿Cómo beneficiará esto a los estudiantes? Para los estudiantes que no solicitaron a tiempo un programa de tiempo completo o que no fueron aceptados en un programa de tiempo completo debido a diversas circunstancias, estos programas a corto plazo aún pueden ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar sus metas profesionales. Los programas a corto plazo aún pueden contar para los requisitos de Next Step. Para calificar para el siguiente paso: El programa debe consistir en capacitación de la industria que conducirá a una certificación El programa debe tener una duración mínima de 60 horas Si el programa cumple con los requisitos anteriores, el GSS agregará este programa a su horario como pasantía. ¿Quién paga el programa a corto plazo? Si el estudiante tiene fondos disponibles en su fondo de aprendizaje, enviará la factura al departamento del fondo de aprendizaje adjuntando la factura en un correo electrónico y enviándola a actividad@epiccharterschools.org. Si el estudiante no tiene fondos disponibles, el estudiante tendrá que pagar de su bolsillo. Mapa técnico de carrera Directorio de carreras tecnológicas Full-Time Programs Career Tech: Programas de tiempo completo Los programas de tiempo completo son programas de escuela secundaria de tiempo completo que son impartidos por instructores técnicos profesionales certificados. Estos programas suelen ser programas de uno a dos años que conducen a una certificación de la industria. Los estudiantes asisten todos los días (lunes a viernes) durante tres horas al día durante el año escolar. Algunos de los programas más populares son: Cosmetología Soldadura Servicio de automóviles y reparación de colisiones Cuidado de la Salud (pre-enfermería, ayudas de larga duración, etc.) Artes Culinarias HVAC TI (ciberseguridad, reparación de computadoras y redes, programación, etc.) Los centros de tecnología profesional ofrecen muchos programas, incluidos los mencionados anteriormente. Es importante consultar el sitio web de su técnico profesional local para ver qué programas están disponibles. ¿Cómo beneficiará esto a los estudiantes? Además de la capacitación práctica, los estudiantes obtendrán 3 a 4 créditos de escuela secundaria cada año que estén inscritos en un programa de escuela secundaria de tiempo completo en una carrera técnica. En algunos casos, los estudiantes pueden obtener hasta 32 créditos universitarios . Además, en algunos casos, pueden obtener un título de asociado totalmente transferible. Los estudiantes también reciben capacitación para el empleo, incluida la creación de currículums, entrevistas simuladas, etc. El 94 % de los estudiantes pueden encontrar un empleo directamente relacionado con su capacitación inmediatamente después de completar su programa, o pueden optar por continuar su educación. en un colegio o universidad. ¿Cuánto cuesta la matrícula para los programas de tiempo completo? La matrícula es gratuita para los estudiantes que viven en uno de los distritos escolares a los que sirve un centro de tecnología profesional en particular. Para comprobar ubicaciones, visite aquí < /u>. ¿Qué pasa si no vivo en uno de los distritos a los que sirve la tecnología profesional? La matrícula para programas de tiempo completo para estudiantes fuera del distrito puede ser bastante costosa. El dinero del fondo de aprendizaje no podría cubrir el costo. Lo mejor es presentar una solicitud en el centro de tecnología profesional que atiende al distrito en el que vive el estudiante. Alternativamente, puede haber un programa a corto plazo disponible con la capacitación industrial que busca el estudiante. ¿Qué sucede si el centro de tecnología profesional no tiene el programa que me interesa? Si está lo suficientemente cerca de otro centro de tecnología profesional que tiene un programa al que le gustaría postularse, puede postularse a ese centro de tecnología profesional y solicitar una carta de transferencia (carta de reciprocidad). Los asesores/consejeros de cada centro tecnológico de carrera conocen los acuerdos de reciprocidad. Por ejemplo, Mid-Del Technology Center en Midwest City no tiene un programa de bombero básico. El centro tecnológico Metro en la ciudad de Oklahoma sí lo hace. Un estudiante que vive en el distrito central de Mid-Del Tech podría presentar una solicitud para Metro Tech y seguir asistiendo de forma gratuita. Metro Tech solo necesitaría tener la carta de reciprocidad de Mid-Del Tech.

Paso 7: Comience su programa de Career Tech ¿Hay algún costo para asistir a un programa de carrera tecnológica? A los estudiantes que estén inscritos en un programa de tiempo completo en una carrera técnica en su distrito asignado no se les cobrará matrícula. Los programas de tiempo completo son gratuitos para los estudiantes de secundaria. Los programas de tiempo parcial/para adultos/nocturnos no son gratuitos y no ofrecen créditos para la escuela secundaria. Estos programas aún pueden ser muy beneficiosos para los estudiantes. Es posible que si un estudiante tiene dinero del fondo de aprendizaje disponible, puede ayudar a cubrir el costo de la matrícula o los libros. ¿Se proporciona transporte? No, el transporte no se proporciona automáticamente. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, los técnicos profesionales pueden trabajar con la familia individual para permitir que el autobús recoja a un estudiante en un lugar público en el camino entre la escuela secundaria local y el sitio técnico profesional. Otra opción puede ser si el distrito escolar local permite que el estudiante se suba al autobús en la escuela local y sea transportado con los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria local. Si un estudiante necesita asistencia con el transporte y está impidiendo su capacidad para asistir a un programa en el que fue aceptado, comuníquese con Hadley Walters en hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org ¿Puede un estudiante en un IEP solicitar un programa de tecnología profesional? Sí. Los estudiantes con un IEP pueden solicitar programas de carreras técnicas. Mi estudiante no fue aceptado en el programa de elección, ¿qué otras opciones tiene? Muchos programas son muy competitivos y, aunque esto puede ser decepcionante, existen algunas opciones. La primera opción es preguntarle al técnico de carrera si el estudiante puede ser incluido en una lista de cintura para el programa. La siguiente opción es hablar con el técnico profesional para ver si el programa se ofrece a través de un programa para adultos/nocturno. Estos programas suelen denominarse programas a corto plazo. Si bien puede haber un costo, el estudiante aún podría asistir y aprender la habilidad/oficio de interés. Mi estudiante es un estudiante de tercer o cuarto año y está interesado en una carrera tecnológica. ¿Es demasiado tarde? No, nunca es demasiado tarde para un estudiante. Alentamos a todos los estudiantes a trabajar con la tecnología profesional local para explorar oportunidades. Los estudiantes pueden comenzar un programa durante la escuela secundaria y, si se gradúan, pueden continuar después de graduarse y recibir becas para cubrir el costo de la matrícula. ¡La comunicación es clave! Mi estudiante no cumplió con la fecha límite de inscripción prioritaria, ¿todavía puede presentar una solicitud? Sí. La mayoría de los centros tecnológicos profesionales aún aceptan solicitudes después de la fecha límite de inscripción prioritaria. Algunos centros de tecnología profesional indican cuándo han dejado de aceptar solicitudes, pero la mayoría aún lo hace después de la fecha límite de inscripción prioritaria. Lo mejor que puede hacer es consultar el sitio web para ver la carrera técnica de su interés. ¿Cuándo es el mejor momento para aplicar a mi carrera técnica local? El mejor momento para postularse a su carrera técnica local es el semestre de otoño antes de la intención de inscribirse. Por ejemplo, presentaría su solicitud en el otoño de su segundo año para, con suerte, ser colocado en un programa de tiempo completo en su carrera técnica durante su tercer año. El proceso de solicitud demora algunos meses, por lo que es mejor enviar su solicitud antes de la fecha límite de inscripción prioritaria. Consulte la pregunta anterior sobre el incumplimiento de la fecha límite de prioridad. ¿Mi estudiante obtiene créditos para la escuela secundaria si está inscrito en un programa en una carrera técnica? Sí. Si su programa es un programa de escuela secundaria de tiempo completo. En muchos centros tecnológicos profesionales, los estudiantes tienen la opción de inscribirse en programas a corto plazo. Los programas a corto plazo suelen tener una duración de 6 semanas y, aunque pueden conducir a una certificación de la industria, generalmente no los imparte un instructor certificado de CTE y no están aprobados por el Departamento de Educación del Estado (SDE) como programas elegibles para producir crédito de escuela secundaria. También es importante tener en cuenta que los programas a corto plazo no son gratuitos para los estudiantes. Los programas de escuela secundaria de tiempo completo son impartidos por instructores certificados de CTE, están aprobados por SDE para otorgar crédito de escuela secundaria y son gratuitos para el estudiante si vive en un distrito escolar calificado. ¿Cuántos créditos recibirá mi estudiante después de completar un programa de carrera tecnológica? La mayoría de los programas de carreras tecnológicas otorgarán 3 créditos electivos. Algunos programas incluyen crédito académico si están inscritos en una clase como biología, fundamentos de tecnología, trigonometría/precálculo, etc., como parte de su programa de carrera tecnológica. El estudiante obtendrá el crédito académico (informática, ciencias o matemáticas) y el crédito electivo según el programa. La mayoría de los programas en los centros de tecnología profesional están aprobados para un total de 3 a 4 créditos. Por lo tanto, si un estudiante obtiene 1 crédito académico completo de Fundamentos de la tecnología que se incluye en su programa de carrera técnica, recibirá 1 crédito de ciencias de la computación y 2 créditos electivos para un total de 3 créditos obtenidos. Si tiene más preguntas, no dude en ponerse en contacto con Hadley Walters, la consejera de tecnología profesional en hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org ¿Cómo sé si mi programa de carrera técnica está aprobado para crédito de escuela secundaria? El Departamento de Educación del Estado tiene un recurso para ayudarnos a comprender qué programa puede contar para crédito de escuela secundaria, optativo o de otro tipo. Se llama Guía de oportunidades postsecundarias. Para ver este recurso, haga clic aquí .
