There are endless career opportunities and pathways related to Tech Design courses.
Below you will find a list of just a few of these related careers.
Be sure to check with your Guidance Counselor for additional direction or see Mr. Spina with your questions.
Remember there are additional careers that make use of the skills developed through Tech Design courses. For example: reading blue prints, basic manual drafting, problem-solving, sketching, Computer Aided Design (AutoCAD), understanding imperial/metric measurement, 3D modeling, Rendering, ect...
In addition, anyone interested in a Skilled Trade would benefit from taking this course.
