The Wilson Talent Center offers Career & Technical Education programming for high school juniors and seniors. Offering more than 18 programs in 12 career clusters, students have the opportunity to earn high school academic credit, free college credit, and either state or national certifications. Nearly 80% of our students continue their education after leaving high school either through apprenticeships, advanced training, or two or four-year college degrees. Partnering with more than 17 colleges and universities, students can earn either articulated college credit or direct college credit. 

Would you like to assemble a robot and learn what the parts inside the robots actually do? How about learning how a new vehicle would be designed and then getting the opportunity to build that vehicle along with a team of fellow students? If any of these statements interest you, then you are the type of student that should consider taking the Engineering Technologies course. 

Some of the skills covered in this course include; SolidWorks 3D CAD -- computer-aided-design software, how to use a 3D printer, how to design and troubleshoot electrical systems, using math and physics for product design as well as metal working including machining and welding.  

It is important to understand that right now in the U.S., there are many career opportunities for people with the knowledge and skills taught in this class. Engineers who are broadly educated and trained in multi-disciplinary engineering fields will be prepared to take advantage of exciting career opportunities. Also, if you are considering post-secondary studies in engineering, this class will certainly give you an advantage!
