ON CAMPUS PROGRAMS
High School Dual Enrollment
You can take technology courses (electives) at Westside Tech at the same time you are completing your required academic courses for graduation at your high school. The courses are free and so is the shuttle service between your high school and the tech center.
Earn two or three credits per year and future college credits. Dual enroll to obtain 1 or 2 years of industry-level training in highly equipped labs. If you have already taken similar high school courses you can start with more advanced level courses at the tech center.
By getting a head start in high school, after graduation you can usually complete a career certiificate program in about 6 months. Your training may include internships with local companies. There's a great chance you can get a Tech Prep scholarship to complete your training after high school.
Only 6 months after graduating, you will have real options...a high wage career, continue on to college (remember the college credits you already earned?), or both. And the best part is...no loan to repay! That's what you call...real life OPTIONS.
