Did You Know ...?

Did you know the Educate Maine report, Getting Ready for High-Paying Careers in Maine, 2018 identifies the following six employment sectors that are in demand now, and that are projected to be in demand in Maine for the next ten years?

• Computer Analysis
• Construction
• Engineering
• Health Care
• Hospitality
• Manufacturing

Did you know the Valley Unified Career and Technical Education (CTE) school, the St. John Valley Technology Center, currently has programs in place (Advanced Technologies, Construction Trades, Health Occupations, and Welding/Fabrication) that prepare our learners to enter careers in three of these high-demand employment sectors?

Did you know our preliminary vision for the proposed comprehensive, integrated Valley Unified Regional Educational Facility includes additional CTE programming in Hospitality & Tourism, including the Culinary Arts, and learning opportunities in both Engineering and Manufacturing, including:

• Drafting and Design
• Principles of Architecture and Construction
• Principles of Engineering and Technology
• Principles of Manufacturing

Did you know we already are designing some of these learning opportunities and plan to use the finished products as well as input from businesses and employers to help further inform the development of an educational vision for the proposed Valley Unified school?
