Jobs over College.

Randolph Technical High School is a place dedicated to creating a successful career for their students. Unlike many high schools, Randolph is centered around the interests of their students, college is not the main goal, but instead work. The school has many partnerships with large corporations that help build relationships with students interested in working in a specific field. The average CTE student is earning between 40 and 50 thousand dollars out of High School.This successful tactic comes with a down side, the CTE program is becoming so popular around the city of Philadelphia that schools are unable to provide equipment and proper teaching for such a large amount of students. The focus of the CTE programs are the culinary arts, including dentistry, carpentry, automotive repair, vending, or health care. The way that these schools handle students that may not be able to afford college or a privileged opportunity is extremely impressive. It provides a brighter future for students and creates a greater purpose for the reason people go to school in the first place.
