Ohio's Career Centers

About Career, Technical and Adult Education

Every high school student in Ohio has the opportunity to participate in a career technical program, whether it is through classes offered in their own school system, through partnerships with other schools or at a career technical center in their communicty (sometimes called vocational centers).

Most career centers also offer programs for adults, so that they can take advantage of programs and learn a new skill.

Today, a majority of students who attend a career-technical program also further their education by attending a two-year or four year program in their area of study.  They start these programs with added knowledge and skills obtained through their career-technical education.

Career technical education also offers specialized programs designed for special needs students or students who desire more career-based education in order to remain in school.
