What is Turning Point?
Isn’t Central Tech a technical school?
Turning Point is a joint program between Central Technology Center and area high schools.
• Yes, and more. Central Tech offers hands-on technical training to high school students and
adults. In addition, Central Tech offers academic classes, credit recovery and Turning Point.
Students can receive the credits needed in English, math, science and social studies.
• Highly qualified teachers assist Turning Point students with academic classes for half of the
day, and students choose from one of Central Tech’s 110 career majors for the other half of
the day.
• Academic courses are internet-based through Odyssey Ware. This program allows students to
work at their own pace.
• Students may also choose to work on assignments from anywhere with an internet
connection.
• Small class sizes give students the ability to receive more one-on-one instruction.
• The self-paced individualized training with open entry and open exit classes provides a great
benefit to students.
Turning Point provides academic and technical training opportunities to students (age 16-19)
who have dropped out of school or are at immediate risk of dropping out of school.
How does it work?
High school liaisons will identify students who are eligible for Turning Point. The student will
stay enrolled at the high school, but will attend all classes at Central Tech. This allows learners
to receive a high school diploma from their high school upon completing the program and
meeting high school graduation requirements.
Is it the same as a GED?
No. A GED is a high school equivalency exam. With Turning Point, students are still enrolled
as a high school student and will receive a high school diploma from their school.
Turning Point allows students to attend Central Techtuition free - receiving academic
coursework required for high school graduation and technical training simultaneously.
