The Arlington Career Center serves all high school students in Arlington Public Schools by offering academic programs, Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, and now dual-enrolled college courses through the Governor’s Career & Technical Academy of Arlington. The mission of the Career Center is to instill a passion for learning by doing. In addition, the Career Center provides enhanced opportunities in four areas: 1) Project based curriculum; 2) industry certifications; 3) college credit; and 4) work-based learning experiences such as internships and client projects.
The Governor’s Career and Technical Academy of Arlington (GCTAA) builds programs around “Relationships, Relevance and Rigor,” with opportunities for high level, integrated projects, and dual enrollment opportunities with Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). Students have opportunities to take course in Business and Information Technology, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Communications and Industry and Engineering, Health and Human Services, and Education and Government pathways. Any student who enrolls in a dual-enrolled CTE course at the Arlington Career Center is part of the (GCTAA) Academy. They also may take NOVA’s one-credit orientation course (SDV 100) on the Career Center campus.
