The Certificates of Completion are specifically designed for those students who would like to prepare for selected vocational areas by demonstrating success in the academic instruction and work based learning experiences necessary to gain entry level employment. Students who are interested and/or identified as appropriate to work towards a Certificate of Completion in one of the seven vocational areas will be taking classes primarily at OPTIONS.  The Certificates of Completion are set up to be two year, or four semesters, certificates with two semesters of major coursework, one semester of coursework and practicum experience and one semester that focuses primarily on work based learning with support. In order to be awarded the Certificate of Completion in one of the vocational areas, a student must meet the instructional and vocational competencies set.  Students should be able to meet the identified levels of competency with or without reasonable accommodations to successfully complete the internship requirements for the Certificates of Completion.  The Certificates of Completion are non-credit; however, through partnerships with over 40 local businesses and employers, students who meet the requirements for obtaining a Certificate of Completion should possess the necessary competencies to gain entry level work in their vocational areas.
