The following is a list of tour/visitation opportunities available to area students:

5th, 6th, and 7th graders have the opportunity to enroll in a three, half-day summer camp each June. Students attending Cool Tech Camps have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities related to CTC programs. Enrollment information is distributed to all elementary and middle school offices in the spring.

8th Graders: Area schools are invited to send their entire eighth grade class for a visitation to the Career-Tech Center during March each year. These visitations occur when current eleventh grade students are taking the Michigan Merit Exam at high schools. The eighth graders are divided into groups of approximately 20 students and are participate in a four-minute visit to each of our programs. The tours are lead by CTC staff and students and our eighth graders are shown demonstrations by current CTC students within each class. Sparks fly in welding, websites come alive in Computer Programming/Web Programming and Design, and robots from the Manufacturing Technology Academy talk to the visiting students.

10th grade students and their parents are invited to attend our Open House in the fall. We encourage students to view our Center’s website along with their counselor. The website presents an overview of each CTC program so the students will be aware of classes that relate to their career pathway.

10th grade students from all area high schools in the TBA Intermediate School District attend the CTC for a one-half day visitation each spring. Students select three programs to visit. Students participate in a 30-minute demonstration about each class they visit so they will be better able to decide which one fits their career pathway.

11th grade students who do not attend CTC are encouraged to visit programs of interest and enroll as seniors.
