Shawnee Community College's vocational and technical programs are called career programs
because they prepare students to enter challenging, specialized careers after two years of
college or less.
Career programs grew from the need for technicians and skilled employees in all areas of business, medicine, and industry. Practical, job-preparatory knowledge is emphasized in the community college's career programs. Students can pursue most of these programs either full or part-time.
