Career and Technical Education

Structured clinicals are regarded as the heart of Health Careers Education, providing students with the opportunity to apply classroom learning to real situations and to develop core competencies needed to make the transition from the classroom to the workplace.

Cooperative education (Co-op) is an advanced method of career development that provides the opportunity for both technical application and professional skill development. Cooperative education provides students with an opportunity to observe “high skill, high wage, or high demand”, career areas first-hand and to graduate as individuals who have adjusted to the world of work.
