Technology Foundations
Among the most common barriers to effective training and employment are weak reading, math, and language skills. Full-time students enrolled at the Technology Center will undergo an assessment and will attend the Center’s Technology Foundations Lab as part of their training until any deficiencies are corrected. This program helps to develop a sense of pride in improving these basic skills, achieving an acceptable level of proficiency in the basic skills necessary for the student's chosen occupational area. Technology Foundations also provides program related instruction in Reading for Information, Team Work, Applied Math, Writing, and Introduction to Blue Print Reading. A qualified faculty member is available to assist students in obtaining the necessary educational skills to excel in the program of their choice.
Students attend Technology Foundations in conjunction with their regular programs. The time required to complete Technology Foundations will be determined by the number of skills and levels that are needed to complete the program in which enrolled.
Technology Foundations has three functions. They are: (1) to serve students who need Technology Foundations in combination with their vocational training; (2) to serve persons who wish to improve their basic skills of reading, math, and/or language skills; (3) to provide special industry training within the parameters of the Technology Foundations program.
