Should high school students aim for four years of college or take vocational training? It depends! But Mid-Coast School of Technology (MCST) Director Bobby Deetjen recently made the case to Camden Rotary Club that for many young people, training for skilled jobs through career technical education (CTE) offers is a terrific choice.
Deetjen explained that career tech ed saves students time and money by earning industry certifications that help them land skilled, well-paid jobs. It’s an increasingly popular option for students who seek a sustainable, satisfying way to live.
Programs at Rockland-based MCST include auto collision repair, auto technology, composites manufacturing, design/technology, English/technical communications, firefighting/EMT, health occupations, hospitality (culinary arts baking and pastry), machine tool, marine technology, mathematics, outdoor leadership, and pre-engineering.
