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: North Central, Western Boone, Zionsville, Options, and some Hamilton County schools. See your HS counselor for more information, or contact us!
​​​
-
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. Some students compete within their Career Technical Student Organization or are inducted into the National Technical Honor Society.
​
-
How do I enroll in a class?
Complete the Enrollment request form. 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 the enrollment request form to let their counselor know they are interested in a JELCC program.
