Business, technical and trade programs offered at Barre Technical Center are an extension of the curriculum at U-32. Criteria acceptance includes regular attendance, interest, academic achievement, and attitude. Opportunities exist for cooperative work placement and apprenticeships. Many of the programs include articulation agreements with a variety of local institutions. If a desired program is not offered at Barre Technical Center, a student may be eligible to attend another vocational center in Vermont but must provide his/her own transportation. U-32 provides transportation to the Barre Technical Center for students enrolled as full time tech program students. Students taking a part-time program at the Technical Center will be provided with transportation to the Center but must provide their own transportation back to U-32.
Any student who anticipates attending a tech program must meet with a counselor to discuss an academic plan that will allow successful completion of U-32 graduation requirements. Admission is through submission of an application available in the Guidance Office. For more information see the course descriptions in this guide under "Barre Technical Center Programs."
