Welcome to MyTechnow.org - Wilson Tech - Computer and Business Skills

COMPUTER & BUSINESS SKILLS will provide students with the opportunity to immerse themselves into a virtual work environment. This program will explore, simulate and analyze the different skills necessary for a business to be successful. Students will actually visit other businesses (Tech programs) in order to discover business needs and, at a basic level, apply organizational strategies to the "businesses" explored. Students will have the opportunity to experience working for both service and product-focused businesses. In addition, students will be provided with instruction in basic money management on a personal and business level. Opportunities will be available for students to work together as entrepreneurs and provide the school with a service or product for their enjoyment.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

Today, most large and small companies require their employees to have skills in using personal computers and to have an understanding of business applications.

CTE Skill Programs follow the same curriculum as their respective CTE Program counter-parts, except at a moderate pace, in a smaller setting with extra support. Students will receive preparation for entry-level employment and/ or post-secondary education and are expected to function autonomously. Transfer into more advanced programs (CTE Programs) is contingent upon a student's success.

Employability Profiles will be utilized to evaluate students' universal foundation skills and work-based technical skills. Districts may utilize the Employability Profile as part of the criteria to meet the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Credentials and the CDOS Multiple Pathway option.

Our Career Assessment center, located at Wilson Tech's Huntington campus, evaluates students' career and academic strengths and weaknesses. The Career Scope is utilized as a Level 2 Assessment. A summary is derived from the students' responses and a list of appropriate career choices is presented.
