Shared Career Programs are offered to high school students through a partnership between your high school and Kirkwood Community College. They provide career exploration opportunities for area high school juniors and seniors. Most courses meet for two hours a day at several locations during the school year.
Eligibility depends on the local school district policy.
Most schools allow juniors and seniors to enroll. Costs are paid by the local school district and vary by career program. Local schools award high school credit for successful completion of the program that will count towards high school graduation requirements. Most programs award college credit and advanced placement at Kirkwood. The Welding Certification and Fundamentals of Welding programs are available in the summer.
