Westerville City Schools sophomores had the opportunity to visit career center programs of interest at both the Columbus and Delaware Area Career Centers on November 20 and December 1. Students may elect to attend career center programming as a junior and senior.
The Career Centers offer college preparatory and dual college credit academics in addition to nearly 40 career and technical programs designed to prepare students for college and a career. Columbus City Schools provides programs at Columbus Downtown High School and Fort Hayes High School. Delaware Area Career Center (DACC) offers programs at both their North and South campuses.
Career Center programs prepare students for the future – whether planning to go to college or right into a career. In a career center program, students will learn skills hands-on, using industry standard procedures and tools. Opportunities to earn college credits and industry certifications are available. Many career center students participate in internships and apprenticeships as well.
Students and families who wish to visit a career center to further explore a program are invited to contact each career center.
