Hinds CTE Course Descriptions

Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus

Dual Credit Career & Technical Center

The Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus, through its Career and Technical Center, offers high school career and technical courses to the secondary students within the Vicksburg-Warren Community. Students enrolled in career and technical courses receive credit through the “home” school.  Students who complete a two-year career technical program will be given a certificate of completion from the Career Center.  Students also have the opportunity to earn Dual Credit and Industry Certifications for most programs of study.  Please note:  Students are not allowed to proceed with lab work until they obtain a score of 100 on program specific safety exam.

The Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus Career & Technical Center has an open admissions policy except where programs recommend prior training and necessary aptitudes for the successful completion of a program. An eighth-grade reading level is highly suggested for students entering the Career Center.  Satisfactory behavior and attendance are required for admittance.  Supplemental information is required to be completed before being enrolled into career & technical programs.  Parent approval, inclusive of completed and signed registration documents, and pre-admission counseling will also take place before student enrollment. 

To be eligible to return to a program the following semester, a student must meet requirements as outlined in program curriculums for each semester. A student that fails the current semester course is not eligible to return for that course without instructor approval.  Excessive absences and disciplinary issues may result in students being unable to continue in program.
