The benefits of CET’s award-winning technical education programs stay with our students long after graduation day. Our students gain long-term stability in a variety of industries, enabling them to overcome barriers to employment while supporting themselves and their families, often escaping generations of poverty.
Through your tax-deductible gift, CET can reach more prospective students through focused recruitment efforts, provide leading-edge programs that align with marketability, offer support services to students facing barriers to employment, and work closely with students to ensure long-term success and retention.
Contributions to CET empower students and their families while strengthening the communities where they live and work.
