CTE Career Exploration Camp Program

Organization: Tri-County offers several programs and services to help youth and adults acquire the skills necessary to reach their career goals, to create an employment action plan. Our skilled employment case workers can help you to explore career options, build resume writing skills, and connect you with career training opportunities. We partner with many employers across the state of Rhode Island to ensure we have a network of diverse training opportunities, and work-shadow experiences. There is no cost to participate in most programs.

Opportunity: This 6 week program runs for 20 hours per week for youth entering grades 6th – 8th in the fall of the upcoming year. Each week, program participants will explore a different Career & Technical Education (CTE) Pathway Program offered through local public schools.  This program is designed to provide students with an interactive learning experience, and gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a specific career pathway with emphasis on high wage, high growth industries.  Previous week long camp themes include; Sustainable wind energy, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Robotics, Cyber Security, Engineering, Computer Science, Agriculture Sciences, Cosmetology, Building Trades, Education Pathways, and Business & Finance.  Participants in this 6 week program receive a $50 weekly stipend.
