Integrated Education Training (IET)
Central Piedmont’s Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs are designed to help adult learners gain job skills and academic knowledge at the same time—so you can move more quickly into a high-demand career or further education. IET programs combine literacy or English language instruction with hands-on occupational training and workplace readiness skills, all delivered together in a supportive environment.

Each IET program includes three key components taught concurrently:
-
adult education and literacy instruction (math, reading, writing, or English language skills)

workforce preparation (e.g., problem-solving, communication, and digital literacy)
-
occupational training in an in-demand career field
