The Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology (CPI) is designed to be an extension of the existing programs of the high school curricula. Technical programs of study are intended to lead to successful placement in employment and/or access to further higher education opportunities. The environments in which the students are trained are similar to the environments in which they must eventually work. Instruction is given on actual job situations, thus setting standards of performance for students in keeping with the requirements of business, labor, and industry.
CPI SELECTION PROCESS CPI course offerings are contingent upon minimum enrollment requirements set by the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology and therefore are subject to change. The selection process begins with interested 9th grade students who indicate first, second, and third choices of a technical, trade-related shop in the spring of their freshman year. Second and third choices are necessary because of the limited number of spaces in each shop. Juniors and seniors in good standing may also attend if vacancies exist. Regular daily attendance is essential for a successful experience at CPI. Any CPI program may involve fundraising. -64-
