Enoch Pratt Free Library: Career Online High School

Program Overview

This program is currently serving customers 19 years and older who are working to earn an accredited high school diploma. Each student attends academic classes led by certified instructors, works with a coach and library staff, and receives career guidance. In addition to the diploma, participants earn a certificate in one of ten high-demand career fields. A Chromebook is also provided to each student.

The Pratt is uniquely poised to help guide and support those seeking high school diplomas and entry into the job market with librarians trained across a wide variety of specialties and age groups. In the wake of the pandemic when many students are struggling in school and as recent gains in high school graduation rates may drop, offering alternative high quality educational opportunities at no cost will be paramount, especially those that can lead to employment.
