Concord Regional Technical Center (CRTC) is available to all eleventh and twelfth grade students. Students interested in enrolling in CRTC as a junior will complete an application near the end of their sophomore year.

To prepare students for success, our entire organization focuses its energies upon helping students to develop and improve both their hard skills (technical skills) and soft skills (personal and interpersonal skills). We take pride in establishing performance targets valued by industry and higher education. The CRTC specifically defines and measures the following soft skills for every student: work readiness, conduct and attitude, collaboration, feedback and improvement and work ethic.

Demonstrating the best of these skills is emphasized and expected of all students. Many of our students earn the opportunity to complete an internship or job shadow experience where possessing effective soft skills is a non-negotiable requirement, given that students will be interacting with valued customers, clients, and employees. Students who succeed at the CRTC understand these expectations and strive for feedback and improvement at all times.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to similar course offerings at the Concord Regional Technical Center and at Kearsarge Regional High School, students must first complete a course in Culinary Arts, Graphic Design and/or Robotics at Kearsarge before they enroll in one of those areas through the CRTC.

Many of the Concord Regional Technical Center programs offer a dual enrollment option. Dual enrollment is the optional opportunity for students to earn college credits while in high school. One such program is the NH Community College System’s Project Running Start. With Running Start, a relationship is formalized between one of our programs and a particular community college course. Once established, students pay approximately $150 (financial aid is available) at the start of our course and, upon satisfactory completion, earn college credit, as well as high school credit. This course is listed on a college transcript, which students receive in addition to their high school transcript. In most cases, the college course expectations are fully integrated into the class and no additional work is expected. In addition to Project Running Start, we have additional Dual Enrollment relationships with other colleges, such as Southern New Hampshire University, that work in a similar fashion. We strongly urge every student to participate.

All relationships are re-established on an annual basis and are not guaranteed until the start of the school year. Present Running Start (RS)/Dual Enrollment (DE) and Articulation Agreement relationships include:
