BEOC career and short term programs prepare students for state or national industry certification credentials and entry level jobs. Students who do not have industry related experience, have access to an internship opportunity in order to gain on the job training and experience.

Prior work experience and training are also considered for admission, if applicants do not meet TABE score requirements.
