Earn college credit before you finish high school.
There are two types of Early College Students:
- Dual Credit Students: Students who take college credit courses that also count toward high school requirements;
- Concurrent Enrollment Students: Students who take college credit courses concurrently to enhance transfer opportunities and career interests.
Youth Apprenticeships
Youth Apprenticeships are open to high school juniors, seniors and graduating seniors, giving them the opportunity to earn while they learn through paid on-the-job training under the direction of an industry mentor. Youth apprentices also take college classes that directly relate to their apprenticeship. See below for more information.
