Manufacturing Pathway
There is a shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing; the need and demand for this skillset is high. Many positions are going unfilled locally for welders, press brake operators, CNC machinists, and other related jobs in manufacturing. At Centennial High School, we are responding to the need to develop highly skilled people in the trades. The school's Manufacturing Pathway program will teach students skills the industry is looking for. The program supports student interest and gives them opportunities to explore career paths and options in the manufacturing industry. Updated manufacturing facilities with state-of-the-art equipment provide students with real-world experience and skill development for future employment.
The Manufacturing Pathway includes career-readiness courses in:
- General Metals
- Metals Technology
- Advanced Metal Technology
- Cougar Manufacturing
Project Lead The Way
The manufacturing courses complement other Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses currently offered at Centennial High School. Since 2014, the school has offered courses through Project Lead the Way, a leading national STEM program. Courses include:
- Introduction to Engineering Design
- Principles of Engineering
- Civil Engineering and Architecture
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing
The expansion of Manufacturing classes will only help students prepare for a successful future.
