KCTC = Great Opportunities – Mtg. Thursday, October 14 @ FT
Focus time for 10th and 11th graders
Have you wondered what KCTC is all about? KCTC (Kent Career Technical Center) has a number of pre-college programs that could help you sort out career path decisions during your last 2 years of high school. Many programs also offer college credit from local colleges such as GVSU, Ferris State, and GRCC, so it can be used as a free option for dual enrollment.
Here are some of the many programs you could participate in:
Automotive Careers in collision repair and technology
Criminal Justice
Engineering and Mechatronics
Hospitality/Culinary Arts
Health Careers/Biomedical GVSU/Therapeutic/Diagnostic
Information Technologies
3D Animation and Game Design
And many more…
Come to the FT meeting in the Garage on Thursday, October 14 to hear all the details about what KCTC has to offer. You will also be hearing from students who currently participate in a KCTC program. See your counselors or Mrs. Crow for more information.
