Individualized Certificate Program (ICP)
Purpose
The Individualized Certificate Program (ICP) will provide students with an opportunity to receive a certificate of proficiency in an area that is not presently available from current college programs. Students and staff will work with local businesses and agencies in a coordinated, flexible manner to provide the student with specific vocational training. The business or agency will serve as the primary training site providing technical education, equipment, and expertise. Students, in conjunction with business professionals and college supervisors will set specific learning goals to be achieved during a specified field placement. In addition to site-based training, the student will successfully complete general education courses on campus. Individualized certificates can be developed in a variety of fields, for example: veterinary assisting, social service assisting, pharmacy assisting, or medically-related fields. The possibilities are nearly unlimited. The program is usually completed in 3-4 quarters.Elective courses must be chosen with the advice of the ICP Coordinator to assure that educational and potential employment goals are met.
