The OC Was Built for Students
Opportunity Central’s core purpose is to strengthen our students’ career and technology education programs (CTE). Through hands on, real world work experience, the students are able to gain true skills prior to graduation. More than just a classroom education, the OC allows our students the opportunity to build strong foundations in their chosen technical field. The following are the CTE programs housed at the OC:
Marketing & Sales
