Students who would like a positive support system to begin their college experience. This system equips students with a strong foundation of skills to be successful in their education and career paths.

Students of any age that want a small class size, extra academic and support services, help navigating the college system, and classes that will lead to future educational and career pathways.

Support classes help students to build skills to be successful in their college experience as well as for jobs in the 21st century. An additional instructor provides literacy skills and language support (if appropriate) classes, while a career coach provides a career readiness class, referral to on and off campus support services, and job search assistance that give maximum support for student success.

Yes! Every technical content class that a student takes earns college credit. In fact, many, if not all, of these credits can be applied towards programs of student at MHCC. The support classes are non-credit and an integral part of the program to increase student success.

The choice is up to you. Many students find that they are good at school and enjoy college. During the program, students research what they would like to do next. Some students decide they would like to go directly to work, while others decide to continue with college to obtain a degree.

There are different sources of funding, such as Federal Financial Aid, MHCC Foundation Scholarships, and WorkSource Scholarships. Students receive help from a career coach to navigate and apply for funding.

The typical program is full-time during the day, Monday-Friday. Evening cohorts begin at 6pm, Monday-Thursday. During the day, students attend study sessions, complete homework and connect with a career coach.
