Modern Career Education: Across the Graduation Stage and into a Dream Job

For many, the smell of sawdust or the whine of a lathe was the smell of high school. For a long time, shop classes - as they were once called - were fading from a high school education as employers wanted students with college degrees.

The need from area businesses has changed again. Today’s employers want certifications and experience, and the smell of sawdust is now drifting out of the Career and Technical Education wing of the high school and might mingle with the smell of baking bread from the culinary training program, or hospital sanitizer from the nursing classrooms.

Modern career education courses are meant to get students the skills they need to cross the graduation stage and into a career -- something South Milwaukee's program is uniquely designed to do.
