This certification covers a variety of work-based settings for secondary students including capstone programs, diversified occupations programs, shadowing experiences, work experience programs, internships, and job shadowing. The skill and knowledge included in this certification program also has application to post-secondary and adult settings. Career and Technical Certification ProgramThis curriculum, which is offered in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is designed to prepare persons to teach vocational industrial subjects on the secondary, post-secondary, and junior college levels in public and private schools. Career and Technical Teacher Education courses may be taken on three levels: Certification, Undergraduate, and Graduate. Persons who have at least two years of work experience beyond the learning period in a trade, technical, or other selected occupation may prepare for certification to teach occupational subjects or related classes in secondary schools in Pennsylvania. Certification students must apply and be admitted to the Industrial (Career and Technical) Education Certification Program. All certification students must meet the requirements for admission to the University. In addition, candidates must satisfy the departmental requirements for work experience and must have passed the required Occupational Competency Test. Students must also pass Praxis I computer-based tests before receiving the Vocational Intern Teaching Certificate. This program prepares the student for industrial teacher certification in Pennsylvania and, in general, is acceptable in other states. Work taken toward the certification objective may be applied to the undergraduate degree program. The courses are offered on a part-time basis for those who are employed on an Intern credential. Completing 18 semester hours of approved coursework and passing the occupational competency examination will permit the issuance of a Vocational Instructional I Certificate, which is valid for seven years.
