About CET
 CET is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fighting poverty & dependence on public aid by making hands-on job training available to youth and adults of all educational levels & backgrounds, but especially to those most in need and hardest to serve.
The mission of CET, an economic and community development corporation is to promote human development and education by providing people with marketable skills training and supportive services that contribute to self-sufficiency.
For each CET student, the goal is to obtain a permanent, unsubsidized, well-paying entry-level position with benefits, and continued growth potential.
In order to assist our students in attaining this goal, there are four very distinct aspects to how CET operates.
- Training. Training is accessible, flexible, timely, affordable, hands-on, highly individualized and self-paced. CET does not conduct testing as a pre-requisite to entry, and allows individuals open-entry and open-exit depending on the students’ progress. We offer over 30 skill-training options, which are determined by industry demand in local economies of each community we serve.
- Support. Life skills instruction, workplace simulation, human development, and supportive services. This essential aspect of our CET model sets us apart from many vocational training institutes as we make our resources available to assist our students in eliminating barriers to success and fully preparing them to transition into the workplace.
- Industry Partnerships. Our curriculum is carefully developed in partnership with local industry employers in the form of local Industrial Advisory Boards and Technical Advisory Committees. With the input from these employer advisors, CET training programs are kept abreast of technological advancements and of the current requirements of industry for entry-level positions in each industry.
- Job Placement. CET Job Developers and Instructors work closely with employer recruiters and human resources representatives to match job-ready students to employer needs.

- Automotive
- Business & Technology
