There are 23 technical programs[4] available for students to choose from during their Freshman year at the school. An on-site restaurant[5] is run by the Culinary Arts students, along with a Lowell 5 Bank[6] that is run by the Marketing & Business Education students. Each student has a chance to obtain a Co-Op[7] job during their junior and senior years at the school. A Co-Op job allows a student to directly participate in the workforce as opposed to attending school during their shop week.
