“The skills gained through technical education are practical, relevant, and immediately applicable in the workforce, providing a solid foundation for lifelong success.”
— Dr. Michael Brustein, CTE Advocate

Every craftsman knows the value of a well-stocked toolbox. With the right tools, you can build, create, and repair almost anything.   At Region 10, we believe that education is like a toolbox, equipping students with the essential tools they need for success in the workforce. Our programs are designed to provide practical skills and real-world experience, preparing students for in-demand careers.

Hands-On Learning:
Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to work with the latest technology and equipment in their respective fields. This practical experience is invaluable, as it not only reinforces theoretical knowledge but also builds confidence in using industry-standard tools and techniques. For example, students in our automotive technology program get to work on real vehicles, diagnosing and fixing problems just like they would in a professional garage. This approach ensures that our graduates are job-ready from day one.

Real-World Experience:
Through partnerships with local businesses and industries, Region 10 offers internships and apprenticeships that provide students with real-world experience. These opportunities allow students to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to actual work environments, making the transition from school to the workforce seamless. Many of our students receive job offers from the companies where they complete their internships, showcasing the high regard employers have for our training programs.

Industry-Relevant Certifications:
In addition to hands-on learning and real-world experience, our programs also prepare students for industry-relevant certifications. These certifications are a testament to the skills and knowledge our students have acquired and are highly valued by employers. For instance, our healthcare students can earn certifications like Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), which open doors to immediate employment opportunities in the healthcare sector.

Career Development:
At Region 10, we understand that education is more than just acquiring skills; it’s about career development. Our career services team works closely with students to help them identify their career goals, develop job search strategies, and create professional resumes and portfolios. We also offer workshops on interview techniques and provide networking opportunities with local employers, ensuring that our students have all the support they need to launch successful careers.

Just like a well-stocked toolbox, a comprehensive education at Region 10 equips students with the skills and experience they need to succeed in the workforce. Our hands-on learning approach, real-world experience opportunities, industry-relevant certifications, and dedicated career development support make Region 10 the perfect place to build a solid foundation for your future career.
