Brewster Technical Center provides educational services targeted to the assessed needs of adult trainees recommended by various agencies within the parameters of approved district curricula through adult individual education plans.

The utilization of non-school site properties provides training opportunities for individuals with special needs. Collaboration by the School District with these training partners includes annual evaluation of the programs toward ensuring that each trainee can live and work independently in the community. Training in job readiness skills, employability skills, life skills, job preparation, on-the-job training, and hands-on technical training is provided in Family and Consumer Sciences, Marketing, and Industrial Education programs.

During the 2007/2008 school year, 111 students have been enrolled and have completed or are on target to complete the program by June 2008.
