Career and College Promise

Career and College Promise (CCP) provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills.

CCP pathways prepare high school students for college, both academically and culturally. From start to completion, CCP aligns with a traditional college student experience to help students accelerate into careers and college after high school.

Qualified public, private, or home-schooled students can earn college credit that can be applied toward high school credit.

Classes are taught on the college campus and/or offered online.

CCP students are the following:

  • Ready to take on the responsibilities of being both a high school and a college student;
  • Academically motivated to start earning college credits towards a career and/or transfer to a four-year college or university; and
  • Meet certain program and course eligibility requirements.
     

There are three pathways available to high school students:

  • The College Transfer (CT) Pathway is for students planning to continue their education beyond high school to achieve an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree at a community college or university.
     
  • The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway is for students to begin a certification or diploma program in a particular technical field or career area.
     
  • The Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS) Pathway is for students planning to attend small public high schools, located on the campus of an institute of higher education, where students work toward completion of both the high school diploma and an associate’s degree, transferrable credit, or career certificate. The three high schools in Durham Tech’s service area that we serve are Middle College High School, City of Medicine Academy, and Hillside New Tech.
