Oakland Schools Technical CampusNW

Oakland Schools Technical Campus Northwest (OSTC-NW) is one of four regional campuses operated by Oakland Schools, designed to provide high school students with specialized Career and Technical Education (CTE). Serving students from across Oakland County, the Clarkston-based campus offers hands-on, industry-aligned training in high-demand fields such as cybersecurity, construction, culinary arts, engineering, and health sciences. By bridging the gap between traditional classroom learning and professional application, the school prepares students to earn industry certifications, college credits, and the practical experience necessary to enter the workforce or pursue advanced post-secondary education immediately upon graduation.

The campus functions as an extension of the students’ home high schools, allowing them to balance traditional academics with intensive technical training. Through partnerships with local businesses and industry leaders, OSTC-NW ensures that its curriculum remains current with evolving technology and market needs. Beyond technical skills, the school emphasizes professional development, leadership, and work-based learning opportunities, fostering a collaborative environment that helps students refine their career goals and gain a competitive edge in their chosen trades.
