Career and Technical Center

West Ottawa High School provides a variety of opportunities for students to explore and engage in the field of Technical and Angineering Arts. We are proud to offer a state-of-the-art metals lab, sponsored by the SME PRIME consortium, as well as access to Work-Based Learning experiences and Careerline Tech Center (CTC) courses. These programs equip students with hands-on skills and real-world knowledge to prepare them for future careers in high-demand industries.

Careerline Tech Center (CTC) provides free career education to juniors and seniors in high school and offers the opportunity for students to gain skills and/or prepare for post-secondary education in 1 of 26 programs. Programs are offered Monday through Friday and students attend for a half day either in the morning or the afternoon. While Tech Center credit is earned as electives, Tech Center students have the opportunity to receive academic credit (4th Year Math, 3rd Year Science, Visual/Performing Arts and an on-line learning experience). All academic credits may not be available in all programs. Check with your high school counselor.
