About Pioneer
Seventy-five percent of future jobs will be considered a skilled trade. Is our workforce ready to compete in this changing economy?
Since 1968, Pioneer Career & Technology Center has partnered with local communities to deliver innovation and excellence in education by providing real skills and real knowledge for real world success.
Now, 50 years later, we continue to help students jump-start their futures with career technical programs and academic courses that offer rigorous and relevant training to better prepare them for today’s high-tech workplace and further education.
Pioneer serves high school juniors and seniors by offering over 35 career-training programs. Our students focus on academic classes for half of the school day and experience hands-on learning the other half of the day in their career-technical lab and on the job. Pioneer students graduate from their associate high school upon completion of all required coursework and passage of the Ohio Graduation Tests.
