students from all five of Fayette County's high schools (Oak Hill,
Fayetteville, Midland Trail, Meadow Bridge, and Valley). We offer a
broad spectrum of innovative, challenging technical programs that
provide both secondary and adult students with the knowledge and skills
necessary to excel in the ever-changing world of work and/or
post-secondary education.
Opened in 1973, FIT has long been recognized as a primary work-force
provider and a significant educational institution in Southern West
Virginia and recently received the West Virginia School of Excellence
award (West Virginia Department of Education's highest rating). To
attain and maintain such distinction, our administration, faculty, and
staff work in close cooperation with our partnering secondary schools
and through collaborative efforts involving students, parents,
businesses, industry, labor, and higher education.
Our curricula at FIT are diverse and challenging. Our students, whether
enrolled in a vocational program for certification or to supplement
their high school program of study, are encouraged to actively explore
challenging technical studies that enable them to see the relationship
between course content and future career plans. The career/technical
instructional programs are rigorous and yet designed to adapt to the
needs of diverse learners.

Accreditations
Programs offered at the Fayette Institute of Technology are
approved by the West Virginia Department of Education and accredited by
the Council on Occupational Education.
The Council on Occupational Education came into existence initially in
1971 as the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions (COEI) of
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), a regional
accrediting association that serves institutions in an 11-state region.
Operating as a unit of SACS, COEI provided accreditation services to
postsecondary occupational education institutions located, with a few
special exceptions, in the SACS region.
Accreditation by the Council on Occupational Education is viewed as a
nationally-honored seal of excellence for occupational education
institutions.
