CAREER CONNECTION
8th grade
Central Tech’s Career Connection provides 8th grade students from our 25 communities with an opportunity to experience more than 30 interactive career stations.
Current students represent their class and provide peer-to-peer information, recommendations, and insight. Students realize the time to start planning for their future…is now.
CT SHOWCASE
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
Central Tech Showcase extends the full-campus experience to prospective high school students as they freely visit their class(es) of interest.
Students and instructors in the classroom, labs, and work areas are prepared to highlight projects, demonstrate equipment, and even encourage visitors to participate in activities.
This come and go, question and answer, opportunity allows future students the ability to dive closer into areas of interest and meet students with the same interests. Most importantly, they recognize learning is relevant, fun and interactive.
