Career Pathways

Explore career fields while in high school

Career Pathways are partnerships between your high school and the college that provide juniors and seniors the opportunity to explore career fields in greater depth and precision while still in high school. CCC has designed 13 Career Pathways to prepare you for high-skilled careers in high demand.

You are engaged in areas of interest and college-level coursework. These programs provide flexibility for you to earn college credit while attending high school. You may receive both high school and college credit when taking program courses. CCC credits will apply toward a certificate, a diploma, and an associate degree.
