What are vocational technical education programs?
Vocational technical education programs prepare high school students for various career options. Vocational technical education offers courses and learning experiences that allow students to develop academic skills, technical knowledge, and other skills needed for employment or advanced education. Students in vocational technical programs must meet the requirements for high school graduation that other public high school students must meet, including passing the MCAS tests. The Massachusetts Board of Education oversees public vocational technical education programs in Massachusetts. State-approved programs are called “Chapter 74 – approved programs.” Most vocational technical programs in Massachusetts are run by local or regional school committees.
