Stride Career Prep Motivates Students to Find Their Passion

"Students are finding something that is making them want to have a future. Knowing that is going to move them to the next level."  
–Dr. Kristin Stewart, OHVA Head of School

Career Clubs

Stride Career Prep students can enroll in career clubs, also called career technical service organizations (CTSOs). CTSOs give students with similar career interests the opportunity to connect, practice professional skills, work on service projects, take field trips, and compete against other schools at the local, state, and national levels. Stride Career Prep at OHVA offers these career clubs:

Skills USA

With curriculum that covers 130 job categories and more than 600 national partners—businesses, trade associations, and unions—SkillsUSA gives students the opportunity to:

  • Practically apply what they learn in the classroom

  • Take courses in addition to those offered by the OHVA course catalog

  • Participate in academic competitions and community service activities 

  • Connect with like-minded students who have similar career and academic interests

  • Earn scholarships offered exclusively through SkillsUSA

Business Professionals of America (BPA)

BPA is one of the premier organizations for students pursuing careers in business and information technology. BPA is a co-curricular activity that enhances opportunities for students to participate in professional, civic, and service projects. Membership allows them to:

  • Connect with like-minded students who have similar career and academic interests

  • Participate in academic competitions and community service activities

  • Work toward earning industry-recognized certifications 

  • Participate in the Torch Awards program which guides service learning projects

  • Develop leadership skills by running for local or national office

*Many Microsoft®️ Office certificates can be earned after completing one course. Other certificates require more classes to be better prepared, and students who participate in the program for at least two years will have further preparation for certification testing.
