WCS Ready for Work!

CTAE is a student-focused program that encompasses students from Pre-K Education to Secondary Education. CTAE helps inspire and bridge the gap for students between the 4 core academic areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies) and the career choice for each individual student. CTAE allows students to gain experience in 21st Century Work Ready Skills, exposes them to a variety of career pathways, and provides them the experience and knowledge necessary to have a successful future.

LAUNCH is a program that began in 2018 with a partnership between Walker County Schools and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC). Students who participate in LAUNCH complete high school courses and college courses at the same time. When students finish high school through LAUNCH, they graduate with a high school diploma and a certificate to be able to go directly into the workforce. HVAC, Welding, Cosmetology, Logistics, Computer Networking, Criminal Justice, Medical Assisting, Allied Healthcare Pathways, and Early Childhood Education are some offerings provided through the LAUNCH Program!
