The YIC (Youth in College) Prep College Program at DCET
College preparatory is a program at DCET that HELPS prepare high school students for college. This program also helps parents understand how important it is to prepare their children for admission to college, stay there and graduate. All schools should adopt a college preparatory program but sometimes this does not happen.
We at DCET assist interns for college success finding scholarship opportunities.
Our Internship program is a win/win situation where students, their parents and DCET have mutual benefits. One of the benefits is to offer parents the opportunity to study, ESL, GED, Citizenship and Computer classes free. This program links families to other empowering opportunities through higher education and community involvement.
