Every dual enrollment student receives a personalized Student Success Plan, outlining their path forward. Each student completes a career assessment to ensure their courses align with future career goals or plans to transfer into higher education, ensuring they earn credits that count toward their objectives. Through strong advising, high-quality instruction, and continuous support, we create clear pathways to both workforce readiness and further education.

Start College Now
Start College Now allows juniors and seniors in high school to enroll in courses the high school does not have or cannot offer to a student who wants to go above and beyond in a subject area. One benefit of this program is the dual enrollment component. The courses the student takes gives them both high school credit toward graduation as well as college credit to take with them as they continue their educational journey.
Youth Apprenticeships
Youth Apprenticeship Youth apprenticeship is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to explore their chosen career path while continuing to work towards high school graduation. It's an "earn while you learn" program that combines work-based learning with related instruction. Paid training is received on-the-job where the employer teaches the competencies of the occupation. Related instruction is coursework relating to the specific career pathway. Youth apprentice students have the opportunity to earn college credits paid through the program locally managed by CESA 3.
