Second Shift at Madison CTE Instructor

The 2nd Shift at Madison Park program provides an opportunity for students throughout the district to access career and technical education instruction out of school hours.

This program revives these efforts to extend vocational opportunities beyond the Madison Park student population and leverage the resources at Madison Park: industry-aligned work spaces with modern facilities and equipment.

In the 2nd Shift at Madison Park program, students participate in 100 hours of instruction that include safety training, introduction to six building trades, and site visits to various unions.
