At JCC, we train future workers for jobs in advanced manufacturing, health care, public safety, and many other careers. We also provide basic education for students striving for a high school diploma and continuing education for students looking to enhance their professional skills. JCC is often a more affordable first college step for individuals who successfully transfer to a four-year institution to earn a bachelor’s degree. And we offer high school students a jump start on their college path through the Early College, Middle College, and Career and College Promise programs.
