Accreditation
Applied Tech is a department within the Special School District of St. Louis County which is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education. Accreditation is a status of recognition that is granted to an institution which complies with eligibility requirements, standards, procedures, and obligations adopted by the member institutions of the Council. Accreditation does not certify that every facet of an institution is of equal quality, but it does indicate that no part of the institution is so weak that the educational effectiveness of the institution as a whole and its services will be undetermined.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Applied Tech is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
This policy applies to all employment practices within our organization, including hiring, recruiting, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, leave of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and apprenticeship. Applied Tech makes hiring decisions based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs at the time.
