CTE High School Programs

WS/FCS is proud of the 14 career academies and the varied career pathways offered to our students in our communities.

What are Career Academies?

• Two-to-Four year programs operating within different high schools

• Specialized courses, created by educators and industry specialists, supplement and enrich the traditional school curriculum.

• All academies offer industry-recognized credentialing opportunities at the time of course completion.

What is an Internship?

• Many of our programs require an internship in the respective area of study for completion.

• Interns have the opportunity to explore potential careers and build transferable skills.

• Employers can use interns to add value to their organization and build their talent pipeline.

Depending on the type of Academy, internships vary in length and whether they are paid or unpaid.
