Career Academies

Careers

Career Academies are skill-focused, employer-driven training programs that prepare students for in-demand jobs in growing and diversifying industries. Candidates must be selected to take part in Career Academy programming. The selection process is based on each industry’s specific requirements for employment. Applicants must successfully complete an application, pass prerequisite testing, interview, and meet applicable physical requirements to take part in the training. Getting students into the workforce fast is our mission. We're proud of our results: more than 96% of our wind turbine technician academy alumni work in the wind industry and more than 92% of our police academy alumni work in law enforcement - the highest in the state! (Compared to a statewide average of 69%.)
