Career Pathways allows students to explore career options and experience the technical college in a variety of ways.
1. Advanced Standing - Students can gain tuition-free credit and advanced standing for taking a technical college program equivalent course at their high school
2. Youth Options - Public high school students in the 11th or 12th grade may enroll at MATC for courses approved by their local school district.
