The Career & College Promise (CCP) program offers motivated North Carolina high school students a clear, focused, and affordable path to future success, allowing them to get a head start on their career and college preparation.
Through CCP pathways, qualified high school juniors and seniors have the opportunity to enroll tuition-free in community college courses that lead to a certificate, diploma, or degree as well as provide entry-level job skills. Academic credits earned will enable students who continue into postsecondary education after high school graduation to complete a postsecondary credential in less time than would normally be required.
CAREER PATHWAYS
Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways are aligned with high school career clusters and lead to a certificate or diploma in a technical career area. Career clusters refer to fields of employment or industries that lead to careers within a specific field or industry. MCC offers a variety of CTE pathways.
To be eligible to enroll in a CTE pathway, a student must (1) be a high school junior or senior; (2) have a unweighted GPA of 2.8 on high school courses or have the recommendation of the high principal or his/her designee; and (3) meet the prerequisites for the career pathway. A GPA waiver form must be approved and on file for any CTE student who has a high school GPA lower than 2.8.
