Career Pathways at
Colorado Early Colleges
At CEC, we recognize that when young people develop valuable skills, form connections, and build a network through career learning in middle and high school, they gain an inside track to success.
Career-focused students have a significantly higher high school graduation rate (90%) than the national average (75%) and also perform better in class because hands-on experiences in career courses make academic subjects more engaging and interesting.
