RACHEL â When students attend Marion County Technical Center, their day starts by clocking in and receiving their new assignments.
Thatâs because many of the programs at the Technical Center operate as simulated workplaces, which give students real-world experience to learn hands-on.
âOur programs are a lot of hands-on,â said Jay Michael, principal of Marion County Technical Center. âItâs for those ones that maybe they need to get up and move around sometimes during the day and thatâs what we offer. They have to do their classwork, thereâs classes that they have to take, but the other part of it is they get the opportunity to do hands-on.â
