A-B Tech offers free college class to high school students through the Career and College Promise (CCP) program.

CCP offers structured opportunities for qualified high school juniors and seniors to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills.

Academic credits earned through Career and College Promise enable students who continue into postsecondary education, after graduating from high school, to complete a postsecondary credential in less time than would normally be required.

A-B Tech offers three types of Career and College Promise programs: College Transfer Pathways, Career Technical Education Pathways, and the Cooperative Innovative High School Programs.

Jump-start your education by earning credit towards a college and high school degree simultaneously. Start training for your future career now.

College classes are tuition free and are held face to face on an A-B Tech campus or online. Students may possibly earn honors or AP level credit.

Virtual information sessions will explain the CCP/dual enrollment program options to see how this program may be a good fit for you and your student. The event is free and open to the public. Sessions will be held: May 13, May 27, June 10, June 24, July 8, and July 22. All sessions are from 6 to 7 p.m.

Registration is required and space is limited so sign up today. Email [email protected] to get the Zoom link or visit abtech.edu/ccp.
