CAREER EDUCATION

 

The Career Education program at Fair Lawn High School offers students the opportunity to choose from a rich cross-section of elective classes from three different areas: Technology Education, Business Education & Family and Consumer Sciences.

Our Technology Education electives can prepare students for careers in the areas of building trades, technology, engineering, and drafting.

Our Business Education electives are divided into two pathways, including a computer technology focus as well as an entrepreneurship focus.  Management & Strategic Planning can serve as a capstone course for seniors interested in furthering their studies in business.

Our Family & Consumer Science electives can prepare students for careers in education, counseling, and the culinary arts.  In addition to courses in food preparation and fashion design, we offer a unique child care course for seniors which provides them with the opportunity to work with Fair Lawn pre-school students.

Through partnerships with Bergen Community College & Fairleigh Dickenson University, students can earn college credit for some of these courses.  Speak to your guidance counselor for more information.
