The motto of SkillsUSA is preparing leaders in the world of work. We have local, state, and national competitions where students demonstrate skills learned in vocational classes. At our school, we have welding, fire science, law enforcement, culinary arts, and graphic/web design.
Students are required to complete specific proficiencies in their Education Career Action Plan (ECAP) in order to meet graduation requirements. Students have time to complete the requirements during their advisory class and when the counselors meet with them. For more information on ECAPs, please visit the website. The student electronic portfolios can be located at http://azcis.intocareers.org/.
The dual enrollment program is a joint partnership with Mohave Community College and Colorado River Union High School District, in which students are able to take college level courses on a high school campus for both college and high school credit. The fees for tuition are waived and credits are transferable to Arizona colleges. Students must complete a MCC dual enrollment application and take the COMPASS test. To access the application, please visit www.jics.mohave.edu.
The concurrent enrollment program is a partnership with JTED/WAVE local community colleges and high schools. In pursuing specialized work certificates and training, the students are able to graduate with marketable workforce skills and better preparation for college. Many of the students are able to accumulate community college credit hours, giving them a jump start on their four-year degrees.
