Track your student's progress online
 
Checking your student's progress at 916 Career and Tech is a DIFFERENT login from their home school. Information on accessing our portal was sent to parents and guardians via email on September 17th.  If you did not receive the email, please reach out to Lisa Kennedy at lkennedy@916schools.org.
 
FYI:  If a student is absent from their class at 916 Career and Tech most of our programs expect the STUDENT to contact the instructor (via phone or email) which models skills they will utilize in the workplace.  Guardians do NOT need to call the 916 Career and Tech Center.  Simply notify your students home school!

PARTNERSHIPS
This month students from the Auto Dismantling, Auto Technology, Diesel Trucks and Engine Technology and Construction Occupations programs learned how to prevent hazards in the workplace and the importance of using personal prospective equipment on the job. 3M representative Marty not only spoke to the students in each time block, but he also gave out 3M safety goggles to each student as well!  As part of the partnership, 3M employees from across the globe come to 916 Career and Tech to gain experience in welding twice a year.
HIGHLIGHTS
Automotive Technology students had a chance to explore many careers in transportation by engaging with the Minnesota Center for Transportation Excellence experience trailer in their first week of class.  Demand for workers in transportation careers is high across the nation and 916 Career and Tech offers numerous industry certifications and college credits across the metro which lead to post-secondary success!
