Southeast Community College, in partnership with Tri County offers high school students the opportunity to enroll in Southeast Nebraska Career Academy Partnership (SENCAP) which offers several Academies in various educational fields (see Tri County Administration for specific courses).
Juniors and seniors in high school will not only have the opportunity to take college-level coursework in a career field of their interest, but also have multiple opportunities to explore their career in a hands-on approach through job shadowing, field trips, professional speakers, and annual events highlighting resume building, mock interviews, and other worthy career-related activities.
The program is designed for students to participate in SENCAP for two years with the intention of students earning college credit and preparing them for their future careers.
Students can take their SENCAP courses in a variety of formats: online, or face to face. In addition to their college course, they will have a weekly portfolio assignment aimed to provide career education and exploration. Tri County offers face to face learning in the Manufacturing -Welding program. Students have taken online courses in these areas: Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Health, and Information Tech/Networking/Programming.
SCC has committed to waiving half of the student tuition and fees for their commitment and dedication to prepare for their career and post-secondary education. An overview of the courses being delivered are listed below. To find out what specific course are being delivered at your high school, call our office for additional information.
