Career & Technical
NOCTI (Skills) Certificate
The Pennsylvania Skills Certificate was created by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to recognize career and technical education students who have achieved high skills in their chosen technical area. To be eligible for the Skills Certificate, a student must demonstrate that he/she has mastered the knowledge and skills required for an occupation. Students are defined as program completers and required to take the NOCTI test if they have completed three years in a technical program.
To earn the Skills Certificate, a student must achieve an advanced score on the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) or meet the requirements on the NIMS test given in the spring of their senior year. Students are tested in two areas. The on–line (written) test covers factual knowledge, technical information, and the understanding of principles and problem solving related to the chosen vocational–technical program. The performance test allows students to demonstrate that they have the skills required to do the job. The test is given to seniors in the spring of each year at York Tech, and local business and industry representatives evaluate the students’ performance. The Pennsylvania Skills Advanced Certificate is signed by the current Governor of Pennsylvania.
Non-Traditional Students
Many students in York County are choosing careers that are right for them, regardless of gender. Such choices could provide greater personal and professional satisfaction, higher salaries, incentive for advanced training and education, employment potential and advancement possibilities. The goal of the YCST is to assure that ALL students have full and equal access to occupational training by providing career exploration activities and on–going support services for those students.
SOAR (Students Occupationally and Academically Ready)
York Tech is a member of the SOAR program. The mission of SOAR is to prepare students for college and careers in a diverse, high performing workforce.
