Welcome to the Career and Technical Education Division
of Lake Michigan College. Career and Technical Education encompasses
programs and courses that prepare students to gain or advance
in employment, prepare for transfer to upper levels of education,
or pursue skill building through lifelong learning. We welcome
all students to explore areas of interest as well as concentrate
in an area of choice.
Career and Technical Education faculty are not
only prepared to teach subject matter; they also have experience
working in the fields they teach and are able to relate what students
are expected to learn to the "real world". They take
pride in their ability to meet the needs of local employers and
challenge students to use critical thinking, team building and
communication skills. Students who complete courses in Career
and Technical Education programs may find employment in their
field of study before completing a program. Students who complete
Career and Technical Education programs may sit for licensure,
certification or registry examinations; obtain a journeyperson's
card; or gain or advance in current employment.
The influence of Career and Technical Education
programs extends far beyond local or regional boundaries. Our
local employers are affected by world markets and expect our graduates
to assist them to meet quality and performance goals from the
global market place. The education students receive at LMC provides
portable credentials for those who wish to work in areas other
than the local or regional community.
Our programs are examined regularly for their relevance
to the current marketplace and meet twice annually with advisory
committees made up of local employers, consumers and students
who recommend direction, content and equipment needed to keep
programs current. We welcome suggestions at any time and look
forward to assisting students who wish to enter or are in any
of the programs.
