Some students enrolled in our Learning and Careers Center (LCC) may benefit from comprehensive post-secondary skill-based training programs (CTPs) located on college campuses. The goal of these programs is to provide post-secondary skill training in an inclusive college setting. Typically, students in these programs must be able to live on campus with minimal assistance, attend selected classes of interest that are ungraded, and participate in an internship within an area of interest. Upon completion of the program, students receive a skills diploma and participate in graduation with their class.
The following is a partial list of some of the top CTPs available in the United States. A comprehensive list is also available here.
