ADMISSIONS and GENERAL INFORMATION


We Believe...

At Tri-Rivers we

believe students

choose to come here

because they have

a thirst for life-long

learning and want

to get a headstart

on their careers.

They are eager

for adventure and

thrive on hands-

on experiences

and leadership

opportunities.


Recognizing the need for such linkages, Tri-Rivers and many colleges have created agreements to enable secondary career-technical students to take advantage of articulation opportunities.

Tri-Rivers students who fulfill requirements specified in program-to-program agreements may earn college credit or advanced standing.

articulation agreement is a signed document between Tri-Rivers Career Center and the various colleges. These colleges agree to honor the career technical work that is being done at Tri-Rivers and then issue college credits for the agreed upon coursework. This means a substantial financial savings for parents/students upon graduating from high school and then enrolling into college.


COLLEGE CONNECTION

Ohio’s College credit plus can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. This program promotes rigorous academic pursuits and provides a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course from a public college or university—College Credit Plus (CCP)—is free. Students must meet the admission criteria of the post-secondary institution in order to be eligible for the program. Students cannot exceed 30 hours per year between their high school and college course work. Many programs offer CCP in their curriculum if you qualify. Stop by Student Services for more information.

PATHWAY 2:

You can find more information about graduation requirements by meeting with school counselors and at education.ohio.gov; search for Graduation Requirements and industry-recognized credentials.


Three Pathways to Earn Your High School Diploma

In a continually changing global economy, colleges and businesses expect more knowledge and skills from Ohio graduates. To match these high expectations, Tri-Rivers is making sure that teens leave high school ready to succeed.

How can a student earn a high school diploma under the “credential” Option?In order to qualify for a diploma under the credential option, a student needs to do two things:• Earn a minimum score (to be determined by the Ohio Department of Education) on WorkKeys—a three-sections work readiness test that many employers use.• Earn an ODE industry- recognized credential or a group of credentials totaling 12 points.

Can a student mix and match credentials?Yes, a student may choose any combination of credentials that total to 12 points within a single career field. Students can con-sult with a counselor, teacher, or other professional to aid in choosing the bundle of creden-tials that best suits their career aspirations.

Why can’t a student mix and match credentials from different career fields?The goal is for students to exit high school with a coherent bundle of credentials that leads to meaningful employment or post-secondary options. For example, obtaining a Taser certification (for law enforce-ment) along with a couple of IT certifications and the ServSafe (for food handlers) as a bundle would not have an obvious use or application in the workforce.

For details, visit education.ohio.gov and search for Industry-Recognized Credentials.

There are now two components of graduation requirements: credits & assessments. 1. The credit component requires all students to successfully complete a minimum of 20 high school credits—(local boards can increase this amount.)

2. The assessment component provides teens three ways to be eligible for a high school diploma. He or she must minimally meet one of the three pathways to earn an Ohio diploma:

Tri-Rivers’ student organizations represent the general areas of career training at the school. Tri-Rivers also provides extracurricular activities such as the Ambassador Club, which is very similar to a student council.

Tri-Rivers encourages you to remain active in your home schools! We work with your guidance department to make sure you can be in athletics, music, and other student activities.

Providing a positive learning experience for all students

employment assistanceTri-Rivers Career Center provides employment assistance to help the school- to-work transition process including job development, placement assistance, and employability skills training for all students.

Upon completion of a career program, a Career Passport detailing the student’s training and achievements is provided to the student. These Passports, along with our free résumé updating service, help make the transition from student to employee a smoother and more positive experience.

CAREER PASSPORTSEmployers have grown increasingly concerned with the types of skills potential employees possess. With this in mind, career-technical education

provides a “documentation of skills” for graduates preparing to enter the work force.

The Career Passport lists specific occupational and academic skills of students who complete a career-technical education program

in Ohio. The Passport includes skills students have demonstrated through a variety of assessments and on-the-job observations.

The Career Passport serves two primary purposes. It helps students market themselves and experience a smooth transition from school to work or continuing education. In addition, employers may use it to ensure that applicants possess the skills needed by the company.

Tri-Rivers RAMTEC—Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing Technology Education Collaborative— includes high school programs in Welding, Advanced Machining and Engineering Technologies. It is located on the Tri-Rivers Campus.

Along with high school, adult students and incumbent workers now have access to an industrial training center that provides numerous industrial certifications including robotic operation, robotic welding, and CNC operation across all major industrial platforms while working toward industry credentials and academic obtainment.

By partnering directly with business and industry to provide industrial training and apprenticeship programs, Tri-Rivers is responding to the skills gap shortage that exists in Ohio and across the nation. For more information, visit ramtecohio.com.

This Could Be YOU! MEET BOB MOSERBob is a graduate of Tri-Rivers/MTC’s Engineering Program.

At Tri-Rivers I learned

about automation and how

important and challenging

manufacturing tech jobs are.

I continued my education

in Electrical Engineering at

Marion Technical College.

I was also part of a co-op

program at Honda. They

hired me and now I’m a

full-time maintenance tech.

Honda’s a great place to

work and Tri-Rivers was

a great way for me to

jumpstart my career.Students earn thousands of dollars of industry certifications.

Industry AdvisorsTri-Rivers programs are connected to local business and industry. Every program on campus has an Industry Leadership Team made up of leaders in their fields.

These professionals in their fields make connections with students even before they graduate. Members of program Industry Leadership Teams provide expertise in choosing equipment, reviewing programs’ curriculums, and talking to students about career opportunities.

They encourage students to earn industry credentials as proof that they have the skills needed to begin a career—in many of Tri-Rivers programs, you can earn certifications or licenses that other people don’t have until years after high school. These credentials are recognized by employers and professionals in the field.

Industry Leadership Team members talk to students about how gaining real world experience in their field will help them achieve their goals faster. The more hands-on experience students get, the more employable they are and the more successful they are in college.
