WELCOME TO THE EXPLORER PROGRAM!
Middle school is the perfect time to dream big and do even bigger. That’s why Central Tech’s Explorer Program gives students the chance to roll up their sleeves and try real-world, hands-on projects based on the National Career Clusters®.
Over the course of the year, students will dive into ten exciting units that introduce them to high-demand industries and essential life skills from healthcare and construction to business planning and law enforcement.
Whether they’re experimenting, designing, building, or problem-solving, Explorer helps students connect what they love with what they can become. It encourages them to take confident steps toward a future that excites them.
