Western Michigan University's vocational industrial technology program equips you to instruct industrial technology courses at middle or high school levels. This program mirrors the non-vocational industrial technology track but mandates documentation of 4,000 hours of recent, relevant work experience in your chosen industrial teaching field.
Approved by the State Board of Education and North Central Accreditation for Teacher Education, WMU's vocational industrial technology program results in a State of Michigan K-12 or Secondary Provisional Certificate, determined by your selected teachable major or minor.
