During the second year, the vocational component includes one semester of working with Operation Fresh Start rebuilding houses or working with a private or public employer. The other semester of the second year also includes students selecting a job with a private or public employer. Many students remain on those jobs after graduation. Also during that semester, students can take a class at MATC as part of the vocational component. WLC does not give credit, but uses successful completion of the four semesters as criteria for graduation.
Students receive a regular diploma from their home school.
Those going on to four-year colleges must take courses at MATC to meet other college's entrance requirements. Written by Steve Hartley, Lynn Bailey, Calvin R. Stone, et.
