Online registration is now open for a range of summer programs for preschoolers through adults starting on July 11 by Minuteman High School in Lincoln and Lexington. They include:
- An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course for anyone age 17 or older.
- A high school student academic recovery program with numerous courses. Open to any high school student, even if they do not attend Minuteman.
- A middle school enrichment program with courses in career technical education areas such as auto mechanics, plant science, multimedia, animal science, cosmetology, and early education
- A preschool program at Minuteman’s Colonial Children’s Academy.
Minuteman Technical Institute (MTI), the adult evening division of the Minuteman school district, is also offering workforce development programs. Classes begin in August or September, depending on the program. The 10-month programs run the length of a traditional school year and require tuition. The 15-week programs are funded through grants from the Governor’s Workforce Skills Cabinet and are free for qualified applicants, which includes most recent high school graduates.
Classes are held weekday evenings and Saturday mornings depending on the program. MTI is open to any student over 18 with a high school diploma or GED (applicants do not need to be a resident of a town in the Minuteman school district).
Minuteman Technical Institute will offer ten-month programs for automotive technology, cosmetology, and electricity from August 2022 to June 2023. Tuition payment plans are available, and additional tuition support may be possible for students ages 18-24 or for anyone who is unemployed or underemployed. View MTI’s Applications and Admissions page for details.
Fifteen-week programs beginning in September 2022 are CNC machine operator, carpentry pre-apprentice, facilities management, robotic technician, and welding. Anyone interested in these courses must apply through a designated MassHire Career Center: MassHire Metro North in Cambridge, MassHire Metro South/West in Framingham, and MassHire North Central in Leominster.
