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.

What You Will Learn

Each IET program includes three key components taught concurrently:

  1. adult education and literacy instruction (math, reading, writing, or English language skills)

  2. workforce preparation (e.g., problem-solving, communication, and digital literacy)

  3. occupational training in an in-demand career field

Benefits

Participating in the IET program offers the following benefits:

  • train for a career while earning your high school diploma or improving your English

  • build job readiness and soft skills with supportive instructors

  • participate at no cost to eligible students

  • access career coaching, academic support, and transition assistance

Eligibility

To participate in any IET programs, you must be enrolled in a College and Career Readiness (CCR) program at Central Piedmont, such as:

  • Adult High School
  • High School Equivalency (HSE)
  • English as a Second Language (ESL)
  • Independence & Literacy Education for Adults with Disabilities (I-LEAD)

If you are not enrolled in one of these programs, please reach out to Admissions.
