Your career training and skill development takes place at one of four, state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar technical campuses in Oakland County.

At OSTC, you can find your career direction, fulfill high school graduation requirements, earn college credits, join student organizations and make new friends who share your interests. Whether you plan to attend OSTC to get a jump on college credit offerings or earn industry-based certifications to immediately pursue a career, OSTC’s industry and educationally certified staff will guide you in reaching your career goals. Did you know that 69 percent of all Oakland Schools Technical Campus students are enrolled in a university, technical school or college?

Our wide-range curriculum offerings are found in nine nationally-recognized career “clusters” and developed around broad occupational areas. Each career cluster provides concentrated learning through different, yet related, career options. 

These nine clusters include:

THREE EMERGING SECTOR CLUSTERS

OSTC, it's all that and more!

OSTC offers you huge opportunities for learning career skills and preparing for your future.  Spend half of your school day at your home school and half of the day at a technical campus.  You can choose either a morning or afternoon session, and experience the following OSTC opportunities:

  • Advanced applied academics
  • Field trips
  • Meet students from other school districts with similar interests and passion
  • Paid and unpaid internships
  • Self-directed and group learning
  • Student organizations
  • Work-based training experiences

Note: Graduating seniors completing only one year of a two-year OSTC program may return for a second year: if space is available (a tuition fee will apply)

“Oakland Schools Technical Campus has had a tremendous impact on my path toward occupational success. The school, and its dedicated staff, strives to individually improve each and every student that walks through their doors.

On a personal level, OSTC has made more of a difference in my life than any other tutelage I have ever received. It has allowed me to expound on my technical knowledge by offering me closely guided hands-on experience both in the classroom and on a work study program as a paid intern with the campus own Network Administrator.

The school exudes a positive and supportive environment tailored to learning and personal growth. Any student would be privileged to have the opportunity to attend such a superb institute.” 

  

And, believe it or not, OSTC IS FREE to you and your school!  Transportation is also provided by your home school.
