The Seattle Skills Center is committed to delivering advanced career and technical education for high school students. The Seattle Skills Center is a free program in Seattle Public Schools that prepares students for college, careers, and life.They provide advanced Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses opportunities for students interested in building skills in careers like healthcare, firefighting, education, maritime, and many more. Students have options to continue career-focused learning in college, earn post-secondary certification, or join the work force after high school.
Seattle Skills Center programs are located within Seattle Public Schools’ high schools and community-based sites throughout the city.
How are Skills Center courses unique?
Most CTE courses in middle and high school are one hour per day, one or two semester offerings, and a majority are exploratory courses. Skills Center Courses provide much more in-depth, preparatory learning experiences. In addition to high school credit, many of our courses offer industry recognized certifications and college credit.
We look forward to welcoming you into our classrooms next fall!
