Technological Education courses provide students with opportunities to develop hands-on, transferable skills, while exploring various career sectors that exist in an ever-growing work world. Students complete projects to develop and apply practical and problem-solving skills using industry-standard tools, machines, and software. Tech courses prepare students for the work place or further studies at the post-secondary level, including apprenticeship. Students may choose to enhance their Technological Education studies by completing an SHSM program (Construction, Manufacturing, Health and Wellness, or Arts and Culture) and/or a Cooperative Education program.
