Career & Technical Education

ALIHS partners with Kansas City Public Schools to offer our students the opportunity to attend Manual Technical Career Center (MTCC). Students choose to attend MTCC to gain job training skills in a variety of fields such as:

  • Construction
  • Culinary arts
  • Cosmetology
  • Health Sciences
  • EMT (Emergency Medical Technician)
  • Automotive Technology
  • Water Management.

The programs offered at MTCC are an opportunity for students to earn professional certifications while receiving hands-on experience, both of which may help them be more employable directly following high school.

Students enrolled in these programs spend part of the day at MTCC. They attend core classes that are required to meet their graduation requirements at ALIHS Armour.
