SOTC recognizes that the success of local economic development efforts is directly connected with the area's ability to supply the technically trained workforce required. The center continues to serve both high school students and adults. High school juniors and seniors who are enrolled in full-time day programs spend half of the day at the technology center and the other half at their home high school. At the center, the students participate in a program pertaining to their chosen career field. At the home school, the student continues in academic preparation. Upon graduation, the student is then prepared to enter the world of work, continue in a program of advanced study at the technology center and/or enter college (often with articulated credit hours that are applied to a related college degree). Adult students attend on a half-day basis similar to the schedule available to high school students or they may accelerate their technology education by attending SOTC on an all day basis. The center continues to grow in enrollment and expand program offerings. In addition to full time day programs, SOTC offers additional programs and services to in-district students, employers, and c探花视频tomers that includes adult training and development classes, safety classes and c探花视频tomized b探花视频iness and ind探花视频try training designed to meet the needs of local employers.
