Considering New Programming for CRTC’s Future
We will survey students this winter, as well as do extensive research, to explore potential new programs for the CRTC. As part of the process, we look at economic value, current and projected employment levels (and wages), interest level, feasibility and more. As most know, we will be starting (based on requested enrollment) a Stagecraft Program in 2016/2017. We will also be completing our implementation of our Fire Science Program (started in 2013/14) by offering an EMT program next year. Programs discussed for the future include:
· Advanced Manufacturing (Certificate Program taking place at NHTI)
· Video Production (with or without Broadcasting - task force will start this winter)
· Vet Tech
· Agriculture (the Capital Region has a remarkable network of specialty farms)
· Hospitality
· A core business program aligned to the Community College System (students would earn 12 college credits)
· Increasing our commitment to Baking to make it a more formal strand paralleling Culinary Arts
· Increasing our commitment to Barbering to make it a more formal strand paralleling Cosmetology
· Solar/Electrical Energy
· Trades: Electrical, Plumbing, and Welding
Of note, whatever we consider must be designed to not just meet the needs of Concord High School, but also our eight sending schools (Merrimack Valley, Pembroke Academy, Bow, Hillsboro-Deering, Hopkinton, John Stark Regional, Pittsfield. Kearsarge Regional). We seek any and all feedback on the ideas listed, as well as anything else you may suggest. Thanks.
