Students who participate in workforce dual credit classes can graduate high school with career skills and in many cases, a certification for many industries.
Did you know high school students can earn college level workforce certifications that can lead to immediate job opportunities while still in high school?
“Workforce dual credit programs are designed for high school students to enroll in Lone Star College for career and technical classes,” said Reginald Peters, LSC director, Dual Credit. “Lone Star College waives the tuition for dual credit courses so students only pay for fees and textbooks.”
LSC-East Aldine Center recently teamed up with the Aldine ISD Rose M. Avalos Pathways in Technology Early College High School where students can work toward Associate Degrees in Paralegal Studies, Cisco Networking, Teaching and Training, and Inspection Technology. Workforce certificates may also be acquired by students depending on their pathway of study.
Other workforce dual credit programs high school students can study are Automotive Technology, Computer Information Technology, Cosmetology, Electrical Technology, Machining or Welding.
Students who participate in workforce dual credit classes will graduate high school with career skills and in many cases, a certification approving them for employment in their industry. Some programs may also transfer toward four-year degrees.
