GEORGETOWN — Sussex Tech Adult Ed offers the following articulation programs to Sussex Technical High School seniors:  Phlebotomy Technician Program, Forklift Certification Training, and Marine Service Technology.

In its second year, the Phlebotomy Technician Program is available to health professions, dental services, and physical therapy/athletic healthcare students. The semester long course begins with virtual classes and ends with in-person laboratory work where students complete 10 Capillary Sticks and 30 Live Venipunctures; the requirement to sit for the phlebotomy technician certificate. 

New for this school year, articulation courses are offered in Forklift Certification Training and Marine Service Technology.  Students completing the four-hour Forklift Operation program earn OSHA compliant forklift training requirements.  Those completing the semester long Marine Service Technology program earn a ½ credit on their technology transcript and the first certificate in becoming a Certified Yamaha Outboard Technician.  

Administrators are finalizing the details for a Patient Care Technician articulation program.  

High school students from other Sussex County school districts as well as Sussex Technical High School are preparing for a successful future by taking Sussex Tech Adult Ed evening Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) classes.  The spring classes are currently in session and participating high school students received tuition assistance from a Department of Labor grant. Sussex Tech Adult Ed hopes to receive a grant to continue to help students enrolled in the fall semester.
