High School Programs - Secondary Career Center (SCC)
The NWTI Secondary Career Center (SCC) is a career and technology center that serves the public schools in Northwest Arkansas. We provide training for current high school students to earn high school credit in career and technical fields. The SCC is available to sophomore, junior and senior high school students. The SCC is supported by the Office of Skills development.
Wouldn’t You Like To Get More Out Of Your High School Experience? High school students throughout northwest Arkansas can enjoy a unique and meaningful education experience that can lead to a value-added high school graduation that includes an industry recognized technical certification or significant hours toward a certificate, post-secondary diploma, or college degree. To view information about specific programs, please view our student handbook.
Why Should You Participate In The Secondary Career Center?
Advance your career. By the time you leave high school, you could have a professional certification and/or earn college credit in a career field you enjoy!
Save money. The technical training through NWTI’s SCC program is paid for by the Office of Skills Development and is offered at no cost to you!
Save time. For some classes you will gain high school and college credit at the same time.
Meet new friends. Students attending the SCC program come from as many as 24 area high schools in Northwest Arkansas.
Learn what you like. Instead of taking electives just to fill high school requirements, focus only on what you want to learn!
Graduate from your own high school. SCC program classes are offered either morning or afternoons. You can still have up to a half day to participate in your own high school programs and your graduation diploma will come from your home high school.
