Shared Training Program, STP, is the name of the vocational classes offered through the Center on Wednesday evenings.  These courses have the same curriculum structure of the day classes but are offered from 2:30 to 7:00 for high school students and adults.

High school Juniors and Seniors are able to take advantage of STP when scheduling vocational education classes into their day schedule is hard to do.  When students have a full academic schedule through the day, or travel into the Center from the county schools is not available, they may opt to take a class on Wednesday evening.  The same eleven vocational classes that are offered through the day are also offered through STP.  Students should contact their high school counselor for details and credits awarded through the STP vocational classes.

Adults wanting to learn new skills or build upon the skills they presently have can enroll in the STP classes to do just that.  Whether you have a job and want to increase your skill training, or you are looking to change careers and need to develop entry-level skills, the STP classes will be a good option for you.  Working side-by-side with other adults and high school students you will learn team work skills as well as receive training that could lead to an entry level position in the work force.

Adults that are enrolled in the Quincy Public School Adult Education program, may enroll in the STP training classes that may meet the requirement of the Public Aid program.  Adults may enroll in STP classes for the entire year or take that part of the course that benefits them the most in getting the employment they are looking for.
