TECHNOLOGY COURSES    (CONSTRUCTION, AUTOMOTIVE, MANUFACTURING) Our technology courses utilize project-based learning in an engaging and interactive format.  Courses with a hands-on focus allow learners the opportunity to work with actual tools and equipment that match those used in industry.  Whether the student plans to immediately seek employment in the trades after high school or begin a two or four-year degree in related coursework, technology courses offer knowledge and skills students will benefit from throughout life.
