WAVE - Mohave Community College

WAVE (Western Arizona Vocational Education) is a Joint Technical Education District (JTED) that partners with Mohave Community College to provide specialized career and technical education (CTE) to high school students across Mohave County, Arizona. Located at the 1971 Jagerson campus in Kingman, the program is designed to bridge the gap between secondary education and the workforce. By offering hands-on training in high-demand fields, WAVE allows students to gain industry-recognized certifications and college credits while still completing their high school diplomas, effectively giving them a head start on their professional futures.

The curriculum at the WAVE-Mohave Community College site focuses on applied learning and technical skill development, catering to students who are interested in pursuing paths such as healthcare, industrial technology, business, or other vocational trades. Through this collaborative model, students gain access to professional-grade equipment and expert instruction that might not be available at their local high schools. By fostering these academic and technical pathways, the institution aims to increase graduation rates and prepare a skilled workforce that directly supports the economic growth and industrial needs of the Western Arizona region.
