CCPS Program of Studies

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.

SPACE is limited In determining which students are accepted in a program that has more applicants than seats, we score each student's transcript by looking at their overall grade point average (GPA) and their attendance. Additionally, we look at their performance in specific English, math, social studies, and science courses with consideration given to the rigor of the courses. This process results in each student being assigned a rubric score. Students with the highest scores are placed in the program.

*No other demographic information is used in this selection process.

Applications are still accepted after the initial decisions are made. If openings are available or become available, ALL students on the wait list ,for that program, are reviewed.
