SCTEC learners are actively involved in designing their educational and work life, achieving their desired career path, and thriving in a career focused on individuals’ interests and real-world learning. Career Awareness and Self-Awareness is the focus in grades K–6 and at grades 7–10 the flow chart focus shifts to Career Exploration and exploring personal interests.  The SCTEC focus at grades 11 and 12 relocates to Career Preparation and the awarding of stackable certificates, credentials, and licenses, as well as the option to participate in a career-focused internship. SCTEC graduates have many positive postsecondary options and offer options to join the workforce and/or gain more educational training as desired. SCTEC graduates may return to postsecondary education as they advance in their careers.
