Credit for Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

The Camden County Technical School district is accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). As a result, Continuing Education Units may be awarded to adults who successfully complete a course and/or a program of study. The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is an internationally accepted measure of documenting the successful completion of continuing education and training experiences. One CEU is equal to ten (10) contact hours of participation in a continuing education experience supervised by a CEU accredited institution.

Clinical Affiliations/Externships

Many of our students receive "on-the-job" training by spending part of the time during the school year assisting and/or observing professionals in their field of study instead of attending classes. In most cases these are non-paid assignments; however, many times employment is gained through these affiliations and externships.

Lifetime Job Placement Assistance

Graduates of the Technical Institute receive free lifetime job placement assistance. The district maintains a computer network that accesses employment opportunities in New Jersey and across the nation. Employers register their needs in our job placement office.

Through this service, students are given the opportunity to contact interested employers in their specific career fields. Graduates may return to school to use this service throughout their lifetime.

For more information, employers and graduates may call 856-767-7002, ext. 5265.

Apprenticeships

The Technical Institute currently offers approved apprenticeship programs in 12 trade areas. A full-time apprentice coordinator is available to initiate apprentice agreements for qualified students wishing to secure positions in technical or trade areas. The apprentice program is a partnership between labor, industry, and education.

Apprentices are required to take a minimum of 144 hours of classroom instruction per year and 48 months of on-the-job training. The classroom instruction is intended to aid students both in theory and practical experiences, and emphasis is placed on those areas not covered on the job.

In order to attend an apprenticeship course, a student must be employed full-time in his/her chosen field and must have a company or union willing to act as a sponsor. A certified apprenticeship serves both men and women who are at least 18 years old (unless an under age applicant is enrolled in a specific vocational program which provides exceptions.)

All registered apprentices who successfully complete their on-the-job and related training requirements are eligible for completion certificates from both the federal government and the New Jersey Department of Education.

For more information and tuition rates, please contact the Apprentice Coordinator at 767-7002, ext. 5267.

NOTE: Customized apprenticeship courses in other specific occupational areas may be developed to fit your particular needs.
