Early College BTC (Business & Technology Campus)
Grades 11 & 12
All costs and transportation covered by NKC Schools
The BTC program allows students to earn both high school credit and free college credit while spending every day on a college campus
Metropolitan Community College (MCC) – Business & Technology and our district high schools have developed a program option for students eager to build skills in three high-skill, high demand technical career fields:
These programs give you a head start toward a college certificate or degree and put you in a good position to qualify for paid internships and great jobs with Kansas City area companies. The outlook for careers in Advanced Manufacturing is very strong due to employee replacement and company expansion. Persons entering these fields can anticipate an average salary between $41,000 and $69,000 with an Associate of Applied Science.

Engineering technicians work hand-in-hand with engineers, industrial designers, and production specialists to design, create and manufacture almost anything you can imagine. A wide variety of products are brought to life by technology teams, including aircraft, automobiles, personal electronics, and even power plants that run entire cities. This program will give you solid foundational skills in computer-aided drafting and design (CADD), parametric modeling, prototyping and residential design.
If you complete both years of the program, you will earn 15 college credits toward various degrees in MCC’s Engineering Technology program.

Industrial electronics rule the world! Industrial automation technologies are the “invisible hands” that make modern life possible. Almost anything you can think of, from the generation of electricity and energy, to the manufacturing of all products, building climate controls, and even traffic lights depends upon industrial technologies to make them run – and “armies” of expert industrial craftspeople to keep them running. Industrial technicians ensure the smooth efficient functioning of manufacturing production processes. They install, test, repair and adjust electrical machinery and electrical control equipment to detect and prevent problems that could cost manufacturers millions of dollars in lost production time. These technicians are in high demand and paid accordingly. This program will introduce you to basic electrical principles, safety, print reading, motor controls and programmable logic controllers – the devices that are at the heart of modern automation systems. You will also use your new skills to build a photovoltaic or solar system.
If you complete both years of the program, you will earn 20 college credits toward various certificates and degrees in MCC’s Industrial or Engineering Technology programs and be well prepared to present a solid application for an Electrical Worker apprenticeship program.
Computer Integrated Machining and Manufacturing workers use manual lathes, manual mills and computer numerical control (CNC) equipment to manufacture precision metal parts. This program, designed by MCC-BT's Precision Machining Consortium industry partners, prepares students to begin a career in manufacturing and machining. Students will have an opportunity for a paid internship as an entry-level machinist with a consortium manufacturing company during the last six weeks of the semester.
