The 2024 Project Explore season will feature the following programs: Advanced Manufacturing, Automotive, Bakery, Carpentry, Cosmetology, Culinary, DVC, Electrical, Graphic Arts, Health Assisting, Masonry, Metal Fabrication, and Plumbing.  Featured programs are subject to change, and students are assigned to a rotation at random.
