• Opportunities in Career & Technical Education

• Internships

• This course is designed to provide students an opportunity to apply learned skills in the workplace. Career Readiness courses provide students the ability to have successful workplace experiences as they explore jobs in their chosen career field. Paid or non-paid internships provide students with interpersonal skills, leadership opportunities, and workplace ethics. 

• Industry-Based Certifications (IBC)

• All students in EBR schools have the opportunity to obtain IBCs (aka credentials) that are recognized in industries throughout the world. An IBC acknowledges that the required skill levels have been met for specific job standards. All career clusters have varying level IBCs. For example, IBC levels in business and IT range from office tasks (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to development of websites, apps, and computer repair. Other IBC examples are craft skills such as electrical, welding, carpentry, and HVAC systems.
