In this HFM CTE one year senior program, students will get hands-on experience by taking what they learn in the classroom and applying it in the workshop. Students will explore all three career pathways; Electrical, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and Plumbing and choose which is best for them.

In the Electrical path students learn about home wiring circuits, switches and outlets, electrical test equipment and safety. In the Plumbing path, students learn about plaster, copper, cast iron and steel pipes, drains, and plumbing safety. In the HVAC path, students learn about the use of various technologies to control temperature, humidity, and purity of the air.

These fields offer many high-paying job opportunities for high school graduates with contractors and labor unions in all three of these skilled trades. Students will also get the opportunity to complete an internship and put their learning into practice in the real world.
