Area Career & Technical District #46
The State of Indiana designates the EVSC as the principal career and technical education (CTE) provider to students from Area Career & Technical Education District #46. Regarding enrollment, the EVSC has one of Indiana's most extensive CTE programs. Area CTE District #46 encompasses the southern half of Spencer County, Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties. Students from these counties can apply for admission to any Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center programs if a similar program is unavailable in their home school. CTE students can take advantage of competitive and leadership opportunities through student organizations such as BPA, DECA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA.
CTE programs have business advisory committees through which teachers and business/industry representatives collaborate to develop curricula, identify equipment needs, and update instructors regarding workforce needs and career information. Programs/courses are added and modified regularly as determined by labor market demand.
Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center (SICTC)
The SICTC serves approximately 800 students from Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, and the southern half of Spencer counties and offers 23 courses of study in six different career clusters. The programs prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, or high-demand careers, including 35 of the Hoosier Hot 50 jobs.
The graduation rate for SICTC students was over 95% for the 2015-2016 school year. Follow-up studies conducted fifteen months after CTE students graduate from high school indicate between 60 and 70% of the students continue their education. Over 80% of the employed students enter careers related to their CTE training.
SICTC students can earn college credit in over 65 different courses through dual credit agreements with Ivy Tech State College, University of Southern Indiana, and Vincennes University, as well as articulation agreements with many of the nation's most prestigious technical colleges. For the past four years, SICTC has awarded over 3,000 college credits yearly.
