Trade and Industrial Education
Trade and Industrial Education is a program designed to prepare students for initial employment in trade and industrial occupations. The program objectives are:
- To help students secure employment through experiences that deal with the performance of skills in an occupational field
- To provide the basis for understanding and use of functional technology related to the occupational field selected
- To help students deal with personal and group issues
- To help students develop desirable work habits essential to job success
This program area provides opportunities to learn a skill or trade in a classroom/laboratory equipped to emulate industry. The major systems are transportation, construction/maintenance, electrical/electronic, metal technology, industrial and manufacturing, communication and media, and personal and protective services.
Opportunities to develop leadership, social, and business-related skills are provided through the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA), the student organization for students enrolled in Trade and Industrial Education programs.
