The Career Center, as an off-campus extension of the home high school, provides opportunities for students from all Omaha Public Schools high schools to study electives that are not available elsewhere. Students receive transportation from their high school to the Career Center for all programs except the Zoo Partnership and Twilight Classes. The Career Center is located at 3230 Burt Street, in the west wing of the Teacher Administration Center.
The programs of study at the Career Center include Automotive Services, Broadcasting, Commercial Design, Construction, Culinary Skills, Health Occupations, Photography, Motor Sport Repair, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Zoo Partnership. Twilight Classes are offered in Automotive Technology, Photography and Culinary from 4:00 PM to 5:45 PM, Monday through Thursday. Students learn in hands on, lab-oriented classes that provide career awareness along with current technology in the related areas. These opportunities better enable students to achieve their highest potential in a rapidly changing, technological world of work and society.
The need for a competitive and more productive work force with broad skills translates into a need for programs that teach employability skills and encourage students to consider their career options while in high school. The Career Center teaches students skills that are required for successful, gainful, employment and successful post-high school experiences – whether the experience is work, education, or a combination of both.
Students register for Career Center classes through the home school counselor during regular class registration.
If you have any questions or are interested in a tutor, please call the Career Center at 557-3700.
