Skilled Trades Preparation Program Fact Sheet

STEP 2: Math and English Placement Test
Students should take the math and English placement tests, so that they can be directed to the appropriate level classes.  This can be done while in TRAD 880 or one of the career courses.

STEP 3: Continue with classes and Cooperative Education
Students should continue to take courses that prepare them for the apprenticeship entrance examination.  Math level should reach MATH 110 Elementary Algebra.  Starting fall 2008 look for a new “Math in Technology” course.  Students’ English level should minimally be ENGL 828 or ESL 825.  Cooperative Education enables students to earn college credit for work and learning done on the job.  Cooperative Education involves (a) students attending CSM full or part time and working full or part time; or (b) students working full time one semester and attending CSM the next.
