Launch a New Career

According to labor statistics, demand for jobs requiring a technical education (2 years or less) is outpacing demand for jobs requiring a traditional four year college degree. The need for certified, trained technical professionals in central Pennsylvania has never been greater. At CPI, we can train you for a rewarding career in an occupation that is in demand and that pays a family-sustaining wage. Our training programs are also geared towards occupations that are unlikely to be outsourced to other countries (such as transportation, heavy construction, healthcare, etc...), so you can be comfortable that the skills and certifications that you earn at CPI will provide you local employment opportunities for years to come.

If your current job does not provide you with the income, advancement potential, or job security that you need, now is a perfect time to get a fresh start at CPI. We offer certificate, diploma, associate degree and industry certification programs in a wide variety of professional fields, including the following:

• Transportation/Automotive
• Welding
• Construction
• Healthcare
• Computers/Information Technology
• HVAC/R
• Food Service

In addition, CPI offers training and certification in many special interest areas, such as lethal weapons, computer and software training, skin and nail care, child development, CPR, photography, and more. CPI offers classes during the day, at night, and online to accommodate your schedule
