Qualities/Abilities
At CCCTC our professionally reviewed programs are designed to run as close to industry standards as possible. This is REAL-LIFE. Students and parents should review the fundamental career Abilities/Qualities, of their selected program, to ensure that industry standards of quality, professionalism, and safety can be met. Please see program specific pages for a complete list of Abilities/Qualities as well as the list of skills students will be taught. If there are any Ability/Skills that might not be able to be met by a student, please contact the school counselors at CCCTC to discuss how this might affect a student's safety and/or performance in a specific program.
