Advanced and Applied Technologies Pathway

The Advanced & Applied Technologies Pathway is made up of three career or industry clusters, Aerospace & Transportation Technologies, Building & Environmental Technologies & Trades, and Mechatronics, Electronics & Advanced Manufacturing. Within these clusters are 14 career technical departments, each preparing students for high-skill, high-wage, in-demand fields with advancement potential.

Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) enhance student learning through contextual instruction, leadership, personal development, applied learning and real-world application (NCC-CTSO, 2019). The Automotive Services Technology, Diesel Technology, and Dealer Service Technology departments are currently active members of the SkillsUSA CTSO, often sending students to leadership development conferences and hands-on skill demonstration competitions at the state, national, and international levels.

Big Give Day gifts will help the Advanced & Applied Technologies Pathway grow participation in CTSO, allowing more departments and students to participate in CTSOs by funding memberships and conference travel.
