Southern Careers Institute
With employer-tailored programs designed to make you the most marketable in your chosen industry, SCI is determined to help you find long-term success.
Purpose Statement
Our purpose is to close the talent skills gap by elevating human capital and empowering individuals in high-demand careers while adhering to the highest education and business standards.
Of all the ways we help our students build successful lives, SCI is most proud of making each individual student more marketable in their field.
Southern Careers Institute has developed a laser focus on making our students more marketable with customized and employer-tailored programs.
We call our approach The SCI Edge, and it makes our students as competitive as those of any accredited colleges or technical schools in Texas.
Increasing the demand for our graduates and ensuring their long-term success revolves around three key elements.
1. Preparing for National or State-Recognized Certifications
Every program at SCI focuses on preparing students with career training that will help them become eligible to earn multiple certifications and stand out when compared to graduates of other accredited colleges.
2. Career Skills Badges
Every program gives our students the opportunity to earn a variety of career skills with electronic badges that serve as credentials that our employer partners recognize and value.
3. SCI Connect
Our SCI Connect online platform matches our students to our employer network needs, and employers now have access to the verifiable skills badges and credentials in one location. Our platform gives every student an electronic profile that our career services team uses to market the student’s verifiable skills badges and certifications to the SCI employer network. The goal is to provide the connection with employers to help them stand above the crowd of graduates from other accredited technical schools.
Southern Careers Institute Accreditation
We are accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education, located at 7840 Roswell Road, Building 300, Suite #325, Atlanta, GA 30350. In addition, our locations are approved by the Texas Workforce Commission and by Texas Veterans Commission to train eligible veterans.
About Council on Occupational Education
The Council on Occupational Education (COE) began in 1971 as a regional accrediting agency, part of the larger Southern Association of Colleges in Schools. In 1995, the COE became a separate, full accrediting agency and now accredits schools for more than 360,000 technical students across the country. To maintain accreditation with the COE, schools must keep program names, lengths, and active statuses unchanged, inform the Council of any substantive changes, file annual reports, attend workshops, schedule appropriate committee meetings, and complete reaffirmation of accreditation every two to six years.
About Texas Workforce Commission
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) licenses vocational schools, like SCI, and provides students and schools with information and technical assistance. TWC works with trade schools to make it possible for students to gain the skills they need to succeed in their careers.
About Texas Veterans Commission
The Texas Veterans Commission ensures that veterans receive the benefits they have earned after service in the armed forces. If a school in Texas is approved by the Commission, veterans can be exempt from tuition costs when they use benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, Selective Reserve Option of MGIB, Hazlewood Act, Post 9/11 GI Bill, and others. Accreditation is only one of many great reasons to study at SCI.
