Information about the MVCTC School-to-Work/Work-Based Learning Options (Pre-Apprenticeship, Internship, and Advanced Placement)

Since 1995, Miami Valley Career Technology Center has provided a unique opportunity for Career-Technical students to enter a highly skilled occupation while attending their senior year. Students participating in the work-based learning program can receive on-the-job training (OJT) with an employer and related technical instruction (RTI) at the career center for the skills needed to succeed in their career field.

To qualify, enroll and remain in the program, students must meet and maintain the guidelines listed below:

Attendance - 95% or better (9 days or fewer absences with minimal tardiness). COVID exceptions may apply.
Grade Point - 2.5 G.P.A. or better; passing all classes; no F’s fourth quarter.
Teacher recommendation - Positive recommendations from lab instructor.
Skill Status - Must meet minimum skill competencies established by instructors and industry in each area.
Transportation - Must have consistent and reliable transportation.

Junior Program Fees - Must be paid or have arrangements made with the Business Office to have them paid.

What are the differences between the work options?

Internships: (paid or non-paid) On-the-job experience.

Four Optional Work Programs:

Option 1 Two-week on/off full-time rotation: The students who meet the above requirements can start work the summer before their senior year. When school starts students can work two weeks full time and return to school two weeks full time. Students’ entire senior year would follow this schedule. We like to set employers up with two students so when one is at school, the other is at work. Students need to be employed by the start of senior school year. CCP options
Option 2 Half-Day Pre-Apprenticeship/Internship: Students can work a half-day everyday schedule throughout the school year. The student can also start half-days during the first semester if qualifications are met and maintained. (Afternoons and Weekends) Earlier release options and CCP options.
Option 3 Half-Day Pre-Apprenticeship/Internship 1-2 Week on/off Capstone: Students can work a half-day everyday schedule for 1-2 weeks missing lab only, the following 1-2 weeks, they would return to lab. This schedule would repeat weekly or bi-weekly throughout the school year. No earlier release options.
Option 4 Advanced Placement /Co-op: Students in all programs that participate will be able to seek employment in December of senior year. GPA and attendance determine their start date.
