Each student successfully completing the program will have a short-range plan for workforce entry, continuing education, or the military. The more work students produce, the more points they will accumulate. Students are rewarded for accomplishing their goals in the program. This includes an accumulation of points on written assignments, correct answers on tests, and the compiling of a notebook of materials handed out during the year. This includes an accumulation of points of the instructional staff's daily assessment of the student's cooperation, dependability, initiative, personal presentation, positive attitudes, productivity, responsibility, and safety.
Good attendance is essential to success at work and school.
All programs conform to the CATC Attendance Policy published in the Student Handbook. The AST program requires students to call in on days they are absent to report the reasons why and let us know where they are on shop jobs. Attendance is also one of the work habits students are evaluated on daily.
