Occupational Programs / Technology
Students in the technology major will receive instruction in foundational coursework across topics such as keyboarding, professional office skills, data entry, internet research, file management, introduction to programming, game design, networking, and media. These foundational disciplines will prepare all technology students for basic employment. Beyond these core items, each student will then select one of four tracks, which include:
- Professional Office
- Programming & Coding
- Troubleshooting & Repair
- Mass Media Production
These specialized tracks will allow for more in-depth training and the opportunity to develop their skills according to their individual capabilities. This specific training will open up additional employment opportunities within that specialized discipline.
To learn more about what our students do in the Technology program, contact John Andrus at 262.878.5620 ext. 6410 or jandrus@shepherdscollege.edu.
There are no employment or technology requirements to be in the program.
