This exposure to unit competencies, instructor expectations, program facilities and occupational and postsecondary educational opportunities give students a better understanding of how the many unit offerings can meet your individual career interests and needs. At the conclusion of this experience, students select one of three career majors. The career major selected requires students to complete several of the units offered. Each unit lists a set of skills and concepts students are expected to master. The number of class periods or days devoted to the units varies from one week to eight weeks.
Some units require more time due to the depth and scope of content.
Whenever possible, scheduling is arranged so that concurrent units end at the same time allowing students to move on to a new unit which may be taught by a different instructor. Grading System Area employers have collaborated with the Center to develop a fair, accurate and realistic system for student assessment. The business community has stated that how an employee goes about their work is at least as important as what they are performing. Grades, reported quarterly, are determined by student performance in two broad categories. The first category includes a list of standards developed by employers that reflect good employee traits.
