Adult High School Career Programs Institute

The Adult High School Career Programs Institute (CPI) provides unique career opportunities for students at Seminole Community College. CPI allows students to earn professional skills, career experience and college credits toward an associate degree at SCC. CPI students can earn college credit while in high school, thereby saving time and money. All CPI initiatives are designed to create a seamless transition into SCC after graduating from its Adult High School.

The program is free for students. All counseling, work-based learning, training and then materials needed for dual enrollment courses are provided.

Early College/Dual Enrollment

CPI requires all early college/dual enrollment students to adhere to the following requirements, which include the Florida State Statutes pertaining to dual enrollment:

• Students must be in high school.
• Students must have at least a 3.0 GPA.
• Students who are interested must speak with the CPI representative to begin the process. Visit our office in B114H as early as possible.

The A.S. Degree Program can be up to two years long, depending on your course of study. A.S. programs provide you with the knowledge necessary to work in a particular profession. These degrees prepare students for work after they earn their degree at SCC while others sequence into several university-level degrees. Earning an A.S. degree at SCC is ideal if you plan to work in a specific field after college graduation or if you plan to continue your education in the future.

Career Advisement

CPI students benefit from regular career counseling sessions. The program also monitors student success while providing a support system that assists students even after they become full-time college students. Meetings are held to introduce options and career exploration.

Career Training

The Career Programs Institute provides on-the-job training through work-based learning activities within the target fields of interest. CPI is an opportunity for students to begin their planning for success. Students enrolled eventually decide on a career path. On this path, students are enrolled in courses needed for high school and college. The main career transition paths are nursing, information systems and public safety. We also offer advisement for students to pursue other degrees and/or certificates through the college while in high school.

In addition to the certifications students can earn, CPI focuses on the following college degrees: 

• Automotive Technology
• Business Technology
• Information Systems Technology
• Nursing
• Public Safety
• Undecided
