Company Bio
CCTI is a comprehensive career and technical school offering both academic studies and career and technical studies in a full and half day format. The school serves students in grades 9, 10, 11 & 12 from the five Carbon County School Districts (Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, Palmerton, Panther Valley, and Weatherly). We also offer FLEX scheduling for students who want to get a portion of a program to round out their high school curriculum and perhaps provide them with some skill or information to give them an edge in their college career.
Our goal is to prepare students to pursue a variety of options: 2 year college or technical school; 4 year college; military or entry into the workforce. By addressing the diversity of opportunities available to our students, we feel they will be able to make informed decisions as to the career path they wish to select. If you would like to visit or need more information, please call our guidance department at 570-325-3682 ext 1506.
CCTI believes all students should acquire the skills and knowledge to enter the workforce or to enroll in a post-secondary educational program.
