an evolving workplace and further education through achievement of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards at all grade levels in specialized academic, career and technical programs and lifelong learning opportunities.Tom Dunphy, Director of the Supermarket Training Careers, assisted by Bill Collett, at the Monmouth County Vocational School Career Center, run a full supermarket operation with market baskets and several aisles of groceries. They have set up a small convenience type grocery store in a classroom atmosphere. Students that attend the Career Center shop in the store while the students in training operate the store. The store also handles debit and credit transactions.
Monmouth County Vocational School Career Center worked with STCR Business Systems to install a 2 lane IBM scanning system to run in the store. These systems were such a success that Monmouth recently installed 6 more lanes of IBM registers, Datalogic Scanner/scales, Pentium server and IBM POS software. They are now running 8 full lanes of the IBM POS system.
“Our association with STCR Business Systems and IBM has enabled our students in the Supermarket Careers Vocational-Technical Program to stay current with today's ever-changing retail environment. This partnership provides our students with lifelong employment opportunities.” - Tom Dunphy
