Questions?
​​
-
Who can take a JELCC program pathway?
Our classes are designed for high school students. See your High School Counselor for specific requirements.
​
-
What’s different about Career Center classes?
Career Center classes relate academic subjects to the “real world of work.” Students learn in a classroom specifically designed to resemble the related work atmosphere. The Career Center uses state-of-the-art equipment, computer programs and teaching techniques to give students the “hands on” experiences that students usually do not experience until they enroll in post-secondary institutions.

Who we Serve/Participating Schools
Our participating schools include the following high schools: Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, North Central, Western Boone, Zionsville, Options, and some Hamilton County schools. See your HS counselor for more information, or contact us!
-
If I am homeschooled...can I attend?
Yes! Please contact Carrie Dodd, Supervisor of Student Services, for more information.
​
-
How many credits can I earn?
Our students can earn elective high school credits for our courses. Upon passing a course for the semester, a student can earn three credits for a three-hour course and two credits for a two-hour course. The student’s high school will add these credits to the transcript.
​
-
What else can I earn?
Students are eligible for high school credits, college dual credit, industry-recognized certifications, and much more. Students are also eligible to apply for the Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate (GWEC) during their senior year of high school.
​
-
How do I enroll in a class?
Students may obtain an enrollment form from their high school counselors or on our website. Typically, counselors will meet with students from December to March to plan a schedule of classes for the next school year. Many of our classes fill up quickly, so it is important that the student complete and return the enrollment to his/her counselor as soon as possible.
