ST 100I - Occupational Skills Training

Lab Hours: 27
Credit Hours: 9

Occupational Skills Training (OST) is a work-site-based short-term training program. Students receive hands-on instruction at work sites based on individualized competency-based curricula developed to meet employment requirements in students’ chosen occupations. Competencies are developed, taught, and evaluated by knowledgeable site trainers; and programs are closely monitored by OST coordinators and other appropriate partners. Each course (A-Q) is repeatable a maximum of 9 times. The program is designed to prepare each participant to be competitively employable for an entry-level position that has been mutually agreed to by the student, the funding or sponsoring agency (if a part of training program) and OST staff.
