PROGRAM OF STUDY (CTE)
An articulated sequence of rigorous, secondary and postsecondary CTE and academic courses which addresses an area of local economic need. The sequence must lead to an industry-recognized credential or technical certification, or an associates or baccalaureate degree at an accredited postsecondary institution.
PROGRAM OF STUDY TEMPLATE
Each program of study contains links to college certificates, A.S. degrees, and career paths. The template also indicates what CTE courses and technical programs can be taken to earn college credit.
TECH EXPRESS TO VALENCIA
A consortium partnership between Orange Technical College, Osceola Technical College and Valencia that makes it easy for students in technical programs to transition to Valencia College. Students completing approved technical programs earn credits toward a college degree. Tech Express to Valencia gives students on each technical college campus access to a Valencia Tech Express advisor.
TECH EXPRESS ADVISOR
Tech Express advisors are strategically located on each campus to engage in outreach activities and communications that encourage tech program graduates to consider the credit opportunities in Valencia’s career and technical degree programs. Not only does accessibility to Tech Express advisors increase awareness of the articulated programs, but advisors also help students transition to Valencia by assisting with applications and documentation for award of credit.
