Core Abilities
In keeping with our mission and vision, CVTC promotes the development of four key core abilities. These core abilities address the broad-based skills that will prepare a student to become a productive member of the workforce, a civic-minded citizen of the community, and a life-long learner ready to grow with their chosen profession.
A student who has mastered the core abilities is one who does the following:

- Comprehends oral, written, and visual communication
- Speaks clearly, concisely, and professionally
- Writes clearly, concisely, and professionally
- Utilizes generative AI to enhance original work
Models Integrity

- Practices ethical behavior
- Exhibits personal accountability
- Uses generative AI to explore possibilities, not answers
Thinks Critically

- Analyzes generative AI results to determine accuracy
Values Diversity
- Cultivates an inclusive environment
- Demonstrates a global consciousness
- Recognizes personal biases
- Investigates diverse perspectives using generative AI
These core abilities are woven throughout the student's avenue of study not becoming the sole responsibility of any one course but rather integrated into all curriculum as appropriate, thus building a strong base for academic and personal success.
