Windham Regional Career Center
The Windham Regional Career Center (WRCC) is a regional career and technical school providing a diverse selection of career preparation programs. The courses and programs are designed to allow students great flexibility in developing a course of study that supports personal and career development. Students that are planning to attend a four year or two year college are STRONGLY encouraged to add a career center program that reflects an occupational interest or college major. Many Career Center Programs meet ONE BLOCK for one or two semesters, allowing students to retain a full schedule that prepares them for post-secondary success.
Career and Technical Education Programs are open to 11th and 12th graders submitting an application. Enrollment in a career center program is based on space available, school attendance, grades and an optional interview with the instructor. All programs are organized into career clusters with suggested high school courses to support student interests. Career Center programs meet a minimum of 120 minutes per day for a semester or the entire school year. Some of this learning will occur outside a traditional classroom or lab setting through projects; field trips; work-based learning and community-based activities. Students should be prepared for this project-based learning in order to achieve adequate proficiency and competence in their chosen occupational program.
All students are encouraged to take advantage of these unique occupational exploration and preparation opportunities. Career Center programs are appropriate for students planning a two year college program as well as those students seeking a professional pathway requiring a four year degree. Many Career Center programs provide occupational preparation for students entering the workforce during high school or immediately following graduation.
An application is required for all programs.
An application packet can be obtained from your high school counseling office, the career Center office or by calling 802-257-7335. Please read it carefully. The Admissions Policy contains a detailed explanation of the procedures and timelines for students.
