Metropolitan Career-Technical Center
Metropolitan Career-Technical Center is where education meets opportunity. As one of Arkansas's premier career and technical education centers, Metro equips high school students with the knowledge, technical skills, and real-world experiences needed to succeed in today's high-demand, high-wage careers. Through hands-on instruction using industry-standard equipment, students explore career pathways ranging from health sciences and information technology to skilled trades, culinary arts, media production, transportation, and more. Many programs also provide opportunities to earn industry-recognized credentials and concurrent college credit before graduation.
Metro's partnerships with business, industry, and higher education ensure students graduate with more than classroom knowledge - they leave with practical experience, professional skills, and a competitive advantage for college, military service, apprenticeships, or immediate entry into the workforce. At Metropolitan Career-Technical Center, students don't just prepare for the future - they begin building it today.
