Van Buren Tech Center

Van Buren Tech’s CTE programs offer students educational training in a variety of career and technical education programs. Students utilize high-tech equipment and training, in combination with the project and work-based learning, to explore career options, prepare for college, and develop skills for the workplace. Students can leave Van Buren Tech with up to 60 college credits, a state or national license/certification, and advanced skills that employers are looking for! 

 

Each year, over 1,000 high school juniors and seniors from 15 partnering school districts throughout southwest Michigan, choose to attend Van Buren Tech for a portion of their school day. The flexibility in program offerings at VBTC allows students to maintain their affiliation with their "home school," while pursuing opportunities to work with educational and technical resources that would otherwise be unavailable.

 

Van Buren Tech Center offers 26 career and technical (CTE) programs. Students attend for half of their school day. Classes are offered in the afternoons and their home district provides transportation. Students may attend for 1 or 2 years. Students must be in good standing and not be behind in credits. Students who are interested in attending VBTC must get approval through their guidance department.
