Career Technical Education is an important component of a student’s total education. Vineyard Academy is a dynamic school-to-career delivery system for high school students. A key to the success of these programs is the cooperation and support provided by the business and industrial community.

Work Based Learning
This is a method of instruction which utilizes unpaid on-the-job training experiences at business, industry, and public agency sites to assist students in developing competencies (skills, knowledge, and attitudes) necessary for entry-level employment.
The intent of work based learning is to provide additional resources concurrently; formalized classroom instruction can be extended, and the acquisition of salable skills enhanced.
