Technical Training
Williamson’s formal instruction is focused on practical, hands-on trade education and training. Students arrive at the college with different trade backgrounds, ranging from no trade experience to four years of high school technical training. Yet all students are educated in the theory and skills of the trades, beginning at the most basic level and progressing to more advanced levels. During the three years of enrollment, students progress at a similar pace to their shop peers.
Academic Instruction
Williamson’s educational program also focuses on applied general and technical education in a more conventional classroom setting. Courses may include: Computer Applications, Ethics, Personal Finance, Physics, Chemistry, Spanish, Drafting, Effective Speaking, and Basic Writing. All instruction emphasizes the subject’s relevance to the trade education provided by the college.
Leadership Development
Employers often find the character and leadership of Williamson graduates sets them apart in a very competitive job marketplace. In part, this is because Williamson students are taught leadership and teamwork skills throughout their college experience. A formal part of the curriculum, leadership training is incorporated into academic instruction, practical job settings, and focused, experiential activities.
