The school's core technology consists of the InSchool (Visma) administrative platform for timetables, attendance, grades, and student records, accessible via web portal and mobile app. A digital school pass (digitalt skolebevis) is delivered through the InSchool app. The school was the first in Innlandet to implement mobile school transport tickets via the Entur app, replacing physical cards. Safe Exam Browser is used for secure written examinations. Administrative back-office is delivered through the county municipality's shared HR systems (employees carry @innlandetfylke.no email addresses).

The business model is government-funded public education. The school charges no tuition and provides free education with government-provided materials and transport support. Students are admitted through the centralized Norwegian upper secondary admissions system. The school reports 29 employees headed by Rektor Hjørdis Bjølseth, with department heads for each program track. Revenue is not separately disclosed; funding flows from Innlandet County Municipality's education budget. Supplemental activity is delivered through partnerships with Erasmus+ (international vocational placements in Czech Republic and Spain), Matfylket Innlandet (regional food-sector initiative), Lærlingkompaniet Innlandet (apprenticeship intermediary), and local hospitality employers (Stallgården, Frich's, Premiere Hotel Znojmo, Pa de Kilo Barcelona, and others).
