Welcome to the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science & Technology (CPI), an educational institution dedicated to enhancing the workforce of today and producing the leaders of tomorrow.

Conveniently located on 32 scenic acres in the heart of beautiful Nittany Valley, CPI is adjacent to exit 80 (Harrison Road) of the I-99 extension near Pleasant Gap, PA. Founded in 1969, CPI was built to meet the career and technical needs of high school students in the Bald Eagle Area, Bellefonte Area, Penns Valley Area, and State College School Districts. Additionally, over 1,300 adult learners annually receive training to upgrade their current skills, learn new skills, or make a career change to better their quality of life.

The completion of an $8 million modernization project in 2005 has enhanced CPI’s position as one of the premier career and technical centers in the Commonwealth and has made the facility a major source for technical training to business and industry in Centre County and the surrounding areas. Well equipped laboratories and classrooms, highly skilled instructors, and a curriculum based on industry standards and certifications prepare students to pursue postsecondary education or enter the workforce.

By combining academics with technical training and industry recognized certifications, CPI is uniquely poised to prepare you for rapid employment and long-term career success.
