Rogers State University’s Certificate in Career, Technology & Education (CTE) certificate prepares learners to enter this workforce with additional technology and in-demand soft skills. The CTE Certificate is embedded in RSU’s  Bachelor of Technology in Applied Technology, as such, all credits earned as part of the CTE Certificate transfer into the bachelor’s and associates degrees should a learner wish to return to RSU to further their education. Additionally, once the CTE Certificate is conferred by RSU, students will receive preferential hiring status by MidAmerica Industrial Park (MAIP) industry Eligible Educational and Training Provider (EELP).
More Information
The CTE certificate is designed to meet educational and career goals in business principles, skilled trades, applied sciences, and modern technologies. Middle-skills employment that require education and training beyond high school but less than a bachelor’s degree are a significant part of overall economic growth. The CTE certificate is designed for high school sophomores about to enter their junior year as well as those who want additional technology, soft-skills, and internships prior to entering the workforce without enrolling in a college degree plan. Most internships during senior year are paid.
MidAmerica Industrial Park has generously provided $15,000 annually in scholarships for this program, making it free to all concurrently enrolled students. Jobs at the MidAmerica Industrial Park pay a living wage to graduates with this certificate.
