Career Focus

Prepared for immediate employment, advanced certifications, and further education

Details

Negaunee High School has two CTE programs in the Business Department including:

  • Business Administration, Management and Operations (BAMO);
  • Finance

The strong emphasis on technical and employability skills in these programs prepares students for the rigors of college and careers in business. The skills and proficiencies acquired can also be used for classes they have now in high school. Students encounter a wide-range of business topics through the electives offered in the BAMO program from business basics and being a savvy consumer to the development of detailed business plans and web sites. Business simulations are used to give students a real-world application of skills. Business and information technology courses offer essential skills that give students an immediate return-on-investment and would benefit every high school student.

Testimonials

Item 1 of 4

“I’m handling the marketing/social media work for Midway Rentals! I've set up and managed a Google Analytics account, created a Midway Rentals Instagram (so hip!), completed a couple photo shoots for Midway’s Instagram, delved into their HTML and created relevant page headers. The skills I learned this classes have helped me a lot here! From countless Word/PowerPoint/Excel documents for presentations, to HTML coding, (thank you A-Frame!) there isn’t a day I don’t use them.”

“One of the major things we did this year was the Hour of Code where we went to the elementary and middle school to teach them about computer science. [We realize] how important it would be for them to learn it because what is the point in having technology if we don’t have someone who knows how to create it.”

“If a student was interested I would totally say go for it!”
