After Dark Program Summary

After Dark

The GLTS After Dark Program offers Lawrence High School, Phoenix Academy, Andover High, Methuen High and North Andover students the opportunity to receive a career and technical education at GLTS. It’s called “After Dark” because students attend GLTS for technical training from 3 pm – 5:30 pm. In the morning, students attend their home high school for academic classes from about 10 am – 2 pm.

The GLTS After Dark Program is designed to respond to the unmet demand for vocational education in the Merrimack Valley. All of the technical career pathways offered through the GLTS After Dark Program align with local, regional and statewide labor market needs. 

Available career technical education programs  

  • Advanced Manufacturing 

  • Automotive Services Technology

  • Health Assisting
  • Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning/Refrigeration (HVAC/R)
  • Information Technology
  • Welding and Metal Fabrication

Students apply during their sophomore year and attend the program during their junior and senior year. When successfully completed, students receive their HS diploma from their home high school and a technical certification of completion from GLTS that qualifies them for in-demand, career pathway jobs in high-growth industries.
