Monmouth County Vocational School District prepares students for an evolving workplace, lifelong learning and further education through career-focused programs as diverse as the needs and interests of our county's students. Six different full-time, four-year Career Academies welcome students as freshmen and combine rigorous academics with research and field experiences to give students a significant head start on their college and career journeys. A range of Shared Time career programs engage high school juniors and seniors in a career area of interest for half a day, and they remain in their home high school for core courses. The Career Center introduces students with special needs in grades 9-12 to different vocations before they select one for focused training. Adult Education programming gives adult and postsecondary students affordable options for career training to enter the workforce, advance in their current careers or pursue a new one.
