| Skills Centers provide an opportunity for students between the ages of 16 and 21 or in grades 11 or 12 to receive job training as part of the public educational system at no cost to the student. This provides students with the opportunity to get a jump-start on a post secondary education. |
| Students learn the technical knowledge and skills to either gain advanced placement in apprenticeships, technical schools, two year and four year colleges and universities, or go directly to entry-level employment in a vocation. |
| Skills Centers success rate is high for students going on to further education and for students gaining employment after graduation. This is largely due to teaching staffs of professionals from industry with many years of experience in their fields. |
