    What is CorePlus?

     
    • Core Plus is a two-year, standardized high school curriculum...

      recognized by the manufacturing industry throughout Washington State to prepare high school graduates for an entry-level career in manufacturing. 

      --------------

      Year 1 - The Core

      The first year of curriculum teaches basic manufacturing skills that apply to industries across all Washington industrial sectors.  This includes use and safety of shop equipment, precision measuring, material science, print reading, as well as extensive record keeping.

      Year 2 - The Plus

      The second year goes more in depth on the industry sector in which the teacher deems as important to their community.  Focuses can be composites, construction, electronics, metal fabricating, aerospace, maritime and auto.

      --------------

      Professional development opportunities are available on a continuing basis to teachers through the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Start-up grants are available from the State of Washington.
