  • Student Placement and Completer Reports were compiled and sent to the SC Career and Technology Department of Education.  The Placement Report gives information on what program completers are doing 10 months after they graduate from high school.
     


    Students in most CATE programs will prepare to take technical skill assessments either for 2nd level program classes or for individual program classes.  Although some assessments are still in the pilot form, the state plan is for all program completers to take valid and reliable technical skill assessments that are aligned with industry recognized standards.

Cooperative (CO-OP) Education 

Cooperative (CO-OP) Education is offered to students during their second (or completion) year of a Career and Technology Program if a suitable workplace experience is available.  CO-OP Education provides an ideal opportunity for students to experience on-the-job training.  When combined with occupational and academic education, this training will enable the student to develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that are essential to successful employment.

CO-OP Education provides benefits to employers.  The program furnishes pre-screened and monitored candidates whose abilities and interests match the potential employer.  A student employee provides manpower flexibility for changing needs and relieves the employer of the cost of some on-the-job training.  The program gives employers an opportunity to experiment with new positions without making extensive investments or long-range commitments.  Employers will be asked to express ideas for improving Wade Hampton's Career and Technology Education curriculum.
