City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) is proud to announce the signing of an Articulation of Prior Learning Transfer Agreement with the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council Apprentice and Training Fund. This newest agreement between CCC and the Carpenters Union will allow journeymen carpenters to apply their education and training experiences towards a degree at Kennedy-King College, and, for the first time, allow students who successfully complete their basic certificate in carpentry at Kennedy-King to receive advanced placement in the Fund’s pre-apprenticeship program. The agreement outlines a clear pathway for participants to earn a degree in Construction Management at CCC, awarding college credit to those with approved prior experience. Another agreement benefit gives those with appropriate prior credits from CCC’s Carpentry program the advantage of placing out of equivalent classes in the pre-apprenticeship program. In addition, the apprenticeship will offer classes designed to meet the needs of CCC carpentry completers to satisfy pre-apprentice requirements and will be available on nights and weekends. This flexibility offers students a broad range of educational opportunities. The CCC Construction Management degree requires 65 credit hours. CCC can award up to 30 credit hours toward an Associate of Applied Sciences in Construction Management to participants who successfully complete the coursework. All students must have a high school degree or G.E.D, be a minimum of 17 years old, and live in Chicago. For more information, visit ccc.edu or call 773-COLLEGE.
