COLLEGE AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT

The number of students continuing their education is expected to continue to rise as more students recognize the value of advanced technical skills to career growth.  With 80% of today’s jobs requiring continued post-secondary technical training and education, increasingly greater numbers of students completing their career development experience at Western Area CTC are continuing their studies at the college level.  College placement services are provided to students through sending schools and Western Area CTC’s guidance and career counseling departments.  Our recent graduates have chosen these and other post-secondary training and education options:
