VOCATIONAL TRAINING


"Vocational education programs have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide; they build self-confidence and leadership skills by allowing students to utilize their unique gifts and talents."
— Conrad Burns

After entering the Vocational Education program, students are assessed to determine their career interests, goals, and preparation for entering the world of work. Each student at Hammitt Junior-Senior High School is either involved in career exploration through hands-on involvement in community based learning sites, opportunities to experience work through on-campus work jobs, or paid employment through a formal work-study placement with a community employer or sheltered workshop.

As part of the Vocational curriculum, classrooms also volunteer as a group to help those less fortunate. Several classrooms help out at Midwest Food Bank to pack care packages for people that have become victims of natural disasters or assist at the Center of Hope Food Pantry to help those in need of food and basic items. We have also assisted at Home Sweet Home Ministries and the McLean County Humane Society. Through these experiences, students can practice social skills needed in a work environment and contribute volunteer service learning hours as part of their career exploration activities.

The Vocational Educational Program also partners with different community employers to assist students in developing vocational skills through hands-on learning at a job site. As part of this Skill Development Program, students go to work once a week with a job coach and experience the world of work at a community based employment setting.
