Massachusetts faces a shortage of well-educated and well-trained workers within science, technology, engineering and math-related fields. In an effort to close that gap, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts seeks to strengthen existing and develop new vocational programs to train the next generation of STEM professionals.Haverhill High School is proud to announce that it has launched three new career technical education programs. Hosted within our STEM Academy, the programs will focus on meeting workforce needs while preparing students to attend highly competitive post-secondary institutions, complete certificate programs or immediately enter the high-demand STEM workforce.
In addition to rigorous, industry-aligned technical courses, the programs incorporate college and career readiness activities including resume building, developing a portfolio, job search skills and interviewing skills. Using our Career Awareness-Exploration-Immersion model, students will have the opportunity to explore their chosen field through job shadowing, site visits, guest speakers and internships.
College and Career Readiness is part of all CTE programs.
Students gain critical career knowledge through work-based learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.
