Discover the power of hands-on learning! At RCT, we’re not just teaching skills; we are shaping the future of our workforce.
Experience and Background: Trade school instructors typically come from industry backgrounds, bringing years of on-the-job experience to the classroom. This real-world experience allows them to provide students with practical skills that are directly applicable to their future careers.
Teaching Methods: The teaching approach in trade schools is heavily focused on hands-on learning rather than theoretical knowledge. Instructors often demonstrate various techniques and skills using real-world equipment, simulating actual job environments in labs or workshops. This approach is seen as one of the key advantages of trade schools over traditional academic institutions.
Accreditation and Expertise: Trade schools strive to employ instructors who are not only experienced in their field but are also often vocational education experts. These instructors might be involved in updating curricula to keep pace with industry advancements.
2024-2025 Instructor Workshops all include newly updated material IN AUTOMOTIVE, CARPENTRY, COLLISION, ELECTRICAL, AND WELDING.
