Professional Technical Education

The Professional Technical Education AAS-T provides a structured degree pathway in education for post-secondary professional-technical educators, providing them with an educational continuum toward a baccalaureate in education. The degree structure—designed around the Washington State Skill Standards for Professional-Technical College and Customized Trainers—will provide leadership and technical skills beyond those required for professional-technical certification.

All programs at LWTC aim to provide students with workplace skills that include Communication, Critical Thinking, Global and Cultural Awareness, Teamwork, and Technical and Information Literacy. Each program will include coursework used to assess student performance in these global outcomes.

Courses listed in the program outline may not be offered in the exact sequential order. It is the student’s responsibility to work out their individual schedule with a counselor or adviser.
