Skills for your career
Career and Technical Education (CTE) offers students the chance to earn a degree or certificate and immediately join the workforce. CTE courses teach job skills for high-paying trades and careers. Students can take affordable classes at Kish and start earning a living. With many programs to choose from, ranging from eight weeks to two years to complete, Kish provides training for the future. Programs offer opportunities for lifelong learning through pathways that build upon certificates and degrees.
CTE prepares graduates for careers in fast-growing fields like health care, information technologies and STEM, all of which need qualified candidates.
Kish has committed to keeping education as affordable as possible for its students and tuition costs compare favorably to private vocational schools.
Our Career Services team works with the local community to help find jobs, internships, apprenticeships or other work experience for our students.
While Kish designs its programs for students to find careers upon completion of their degree or certificate, students will find many transfer opportunities if they wish to further their education.
Kishwaukee College will offer six Fast-Track career programs during the Fall 2025 semester. Kish Fast-Track programs provide students with the expertise needed to meet local workforce demands. The programs range from 8-15 weeks, allowing students to start a career immediately or build upon skills with additional training.
