Career and Technical Education for Reporting
The Career and Technical Education Division provides many programs and training.
Departments within Career and Technical include: student support services, workforce
training, small business development, Tech Prep and WIA services.
Career/technical courses and programs offer highly skilled and technical educational
opportunities that meet the specialized needs of individuals, communities, and businesses.
Courses in Career and Technical Education are sequenced and designed to prepare students
for employment in current and emerging careers not requiring a baccalaureate or advanced
degree. All courses include competency-based applied learning that contributes to an
individual’s academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The
competencies, coupled with specific skills training, prepare an individual to attain economic
independence and a purposeful life. Career and technical education courses may be applied
toward a career certificate, technical certificate, or an A.A.S. degree.
Technical programs include a minimum of fifteen hours of academic course work for
the A.A.S. degree. All technical students must be actively pursuing an Associate in
Applied Science degree by following the outlined curriculum for the selected major. Any
deviation from an outlined curriculum must be approved in writing prior to enrollment by
the instructor, the program’s Dean, and the Vice President of Instructional Affairs. Some
technical programs offer a certificate option as well as an Associate in Applied Science
degree. Certificate and degree options for programs may be found on the JCJC website
under each program. Students pursuing one of these certificate options may be required to
attend training provided by Student Service Coordinators to improve basic skills in the areas
of reading, math and/or language.
Career programs are organized and planned for twenty-two to thirty clock hours of
instruction per week. These curricula are designed as terminal programs that qualify
students as entry-level craftsmen. All full-time students in career classes must register for
the number of hours set forth in their curriculum. The curriculum is listed in the catalog.
Some curriculums may go through revisions. The most current curriculum for each career
