Career and Technology Education

Career Connections is a program consisting of a series of hands-on mini-courses called Career Pathway Units (CPUs) as well as lab management products, lab equipment, and whole class products. Their programs include:

• Career Pathway Units (CPUs) - 15 hour units designed to introduce students (at whatever level) to various knowledge and hands-on experience in specific career areas.  CPUs are stand alone, which means they can be used independently or combined with any or all of the other units. Each CPU contains all the software, equipment, supplies, kits, and tools necessary to complete the included activities.

• Engineering Application Series (EAS) - an online collection of fun and exciting problem-based learning opportunities. EAS provides students the opportunity to master critical academic, workplace, and life skills while solving real-world challenges.

• Speed Track Challenge Packs - an innovative project-based learning system designed to seamlessly integrate radio controlled racing with virtually any career and technology program

Health Science

Instructors know the reality--many areas of health education can't be covered with the limited time and resources available. As a result, students aren't given opportunities to explore different avenues and acquire the cross training skills necessary to make an educated career choice within the health care field.

In response to this need, Applied Technologies presents the Health Science Education Series. The two programs in this Series are correlated to the National Health Care Skills Standards established by the National Consortium on Health Science Education to create an educationally sound, standards-driven curriculum with specific, hands-on skill sets.  Both programs have also been correlated to many state standards including all of the Learning Labs states.  The two programs include:

• Health Science Foundations - Eleven units totaling 120-150 hours delivered in a web browser format accompanied by lesson plans for instructor-led activities.  Request free access to the website!  The 11 standards include:

• Career Pathways - a high-level, multimedia modular curriculum designed to give students knowledge and hands-on experience in specific career areas; educators can use the curriculum as either independent or lock-step group study.  Titles include:

Green Technology

Perhaps no topic is currently more prominent than Green Technology.  Every day, on a worldwide scale, new technologies and sciences are being explored and implemented in an effort to alleviate our dependence on fossil fuels and embrace newer and safer alternative energy sources.  Individuals, as well as entire nations, are uniting in a effort to conserve Earth's non-renewable resources, better manager resources that are renewable, and to minimize pollutants that harm the environment.

Applied Technologies' Green Technology Series addresses these and other related topics through a 65+ hour package of courseware.  As students are introduced to various causes, effects, and solutions, their findings are reinforced through hands-on activities.

Our programs include:

• Green Technology Career Pathway Units (CPUs) - comprised of a required 5-hour Introduction to Green Technology prerequisite and four individual 15-hour Career Pathway Units (CPUs).  The CPUs may be purchased and used independently or as a combined package.
  
  Students explore the courseware in either whole-class or in self-guided learning-center configurations.
  

• Hydrogen Fuel Cell Experiment Kits - a series of kits designed to further increase your students' awareness of alternative fuels and their benefits

IT Certification

Applied Technologies offers an innovative, network-based IT certification training tool located on a self-contained network storage device designed to easily plug directly into a school’s existing network. Within minutes, an entire campus can have access to a massive library of instructional videos, demonstrations, and practice exams.  Also included is a set of certification exam simulators for all technical certifications. These exam simulators are the closest replication of the real exams! Exams are presented in a randomized, timed format. The exam simulator breaks down student test results by objective, just like the testing center. This feature allows instructors to analyze exam results, customize testing options, and assign additional studies for specific objectives as they deem necessary based on their findings.
