Union County Vocational-Technical Schools mission is to address the needs of the residents of our county by providing technological opportunities to acquire the marketable skills necessary to enter into and compete in our challenging labor market as we enter the 21st Century. This mission is committed to ensuring high standards and challenging opportunities through the integration of academic and technical training and by:

•providing access to technology for all learners
•providing a strong emphasis on teacher professional development and pre-service education.
•creating an integration of technology into systematic school reforms

Our mission statement stresses the implementation of technology as a tool for learning; technology is an instrument to be used to expedite and enhance the learning process. The Union County Vocational-Technical School district has made a commitment to provide its students with up-to-date technology as well as engaging and demanding curriculum. To assist us in keeping this promise we will routinely update the status of our curriculum and technology and report these findings in our technology plan records.

Our district is dedicated to adding resources needed to implement the plan, such as: current technology hardware and software; release time for professional development opportunities; and in-service professional development opportunities. Our commitment to constantly evaluating our technology resources in the classroom and curriculum is key to helping our students achieve academic success.

The UCVTS Technology Department would not be as productive without the assistance of Student Technology Interns. Each year rising seniors are eligible to apply to be a Student IT Intern. The top scoring applicants, a combination of technology grades from Freshmen through Junior years, teacher recommendations, attendance and an interview process, help determine the new Student Technology Interns.

Those selected to be Student Technology Interns are required to work (for pay) over the summer before their Senior year. It is during this time that interns are instructed on how the Technology Department operates and how to appropriately handle technology work orders for the upcoming year.

During the school year students will spend a portion of their day working as interns for the technology department. The amount of time for the internship varies depending which school the student is attending. Technology Interns will also have the opportunity to work (again for pay) after school hours during the school year.

In addition, you must:

• be a rising senior
• have your own transportation to and from school starting in July of current year
• be available to work a minimum of six weeks during the summer
