Re-Envisioning Career and Technical Education in Central Vermont

The demand for skilled labor in Vermont is at an all time high and the Career Center does not have the instructional and lab space to meet current and future demand. Jobs exist for many more students than we can train and we are three years into a study of the feasibility and cost of a renovation or new construction that would increase our capacity by 70%

CVCCSD Board Goal

The ability to serve all eligible students in our region and to provide programming that fulfills the needs of students, employers and the community are key points in the CVCC Board goals.

Our present facilities prevent us from doing so.

By 2028 CVCC will have a state of the art facility that serves all eligible students in our region, staffed and resourced appropriately. We will realize an increased enrollment versus applicant percentage as well as altered and added programming from previous years.

Vision:

CVCC’s state of the art facility serves all eligible students in our region, staffed and resourced appropriately.

Expanded capacity for increased enrollment versus applicant percentage;
Increased academic achievement through full day programming in a full school day schedule;
Pathways to advanced career credentials;
Strengthening partnerships with middle schools across the region to improve student access and eliminate

First Steps Forward

After months of searching and exploring different opportunities, CVCC signed a land agreement at the beginning of April 2025 for our new facility.

This process has involved:

Lengthy search of potential properties in centralized locations. Exploring options of a stand alone facility or partnering with a sending school.
Constant feedback and collaboration with CVCC staff and other industry partners to make sure we are offering what students need.
Monthly Facilities Committee meetings which is comprised of CVCC staff, board members, project partners and community members. Below is a recording of the April 1st Facilities Committee, where our partners Truexcullins and Lavallee Brensinger presented our most up-to-date concept designs for the property.
