Technical Education and Post-Secondary Education Work Well Together

If you've heard that it's either "vo-tech" or college, you've been misinformed. Following the college-prep route is not the only way to get to college. Technical education has changed since the old days. Today, you have more options and more possibilities than ever before.

At Berks Career and Technology Center, you benefit from a blend of academic subjects and practical training. When it comes to preparation for a career, that's the best of both worlds. You'll develop technical skills that are respected and needed in the workplace. You'll experience work and get a feel for what it's really like out there. At the same time, you'll complete the academic credits needed to continue your education in college or other post-secondary program. (Learn more about Tech Prep.) Who knows what the future holds in store for you? The best way to prepare is to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Berks Career and Technology Center will help you do just that.
