The Business and Technology department recognizes the importance of introducing and connecting our students to a growing and evolving global workforce. The Business Career Pathway program prepares students for a postsecondary education and/or a career in business. Our pathway will allow students to explore careers in the field while gaining the essential skills necessary to compete in the competitive job market both globally and locally.
The Business Career Pathway involves 4 areas of focus:
- Prerequisites & Corequisites are required courses that are necessary to qualify for most post-secondary programs.
- Required Courses are key courses that anyone considering the business field should take.
- Electives are a selection of courses that offer a breadth of experience offering additional opportunities in business and technology as well as other diverse courses that will increase a student’s skill set as they pursue their interests in the business field.
- Field experiences (20 hours) may vary depending on the availability of local partners. The best effort will be made to provide opportunities for all students in all interest areas.
By choosing elective courses in a given area, students have the ability to focus on a certain aspect of the business field.
