CAREER & COLLEGE PROMISE (CCP)
Eligible students have the opportunity to take college courses tuition free through Wilkes Community College's Career and College Promise program. Students will be advised by a WCC Career Coach on education pathways that lead to certificates, diplomas, and degrees, prior to enrolling in WCC courses.
In Wilkes County Schools, eligible students can begin taking WCC courses the summer semester after completion of 10th grade. After students are registered for college courses, they attend a required orientation and pay a $30 material fee per course. Career and College Promise offers high school students options to pursue educational and career goals of their choice using a rigorous yet supportive structure designed to help them become successful.
