CCV’s education programs prepare you to teach at a variety of levels. The early childhood education degree program provides the knowledge and skills you’ll need to enter a rewarding, high-demand career in child care. The liberal studies degree is a solid foundation for the education you’ll need to become an elementary, middle, or high school teacher. Credentials and certificate programs can lead to employment as a home child care provider, after school program provider, or early childhood education administrator. Whatever path you choose, you’ll be well positioned for the workforce or further education.
CCV programs are stackable, meaning they build on one another as you progress toward your goals.

Alumni Success Story
CCV Works: Jean Cota
Jean graduated from CCV in 2018 with her associate degree in early childhood education and became the director of childcare for Jay Peak Resort in 2019. “I climbed the career ladder because of the degree,” she said. “It completely changed how I looked at childcare. It used to be ‘I’m providing a home for children.’ Now it’s about education.”
If you want to continue your education after CCV, we want to help you get there. We’re excited to introduce our new transfer pathways search tool, which you can use to quickly find the right pathway for you. Explore transfer options by CCV programs or degrees, search by transfer partners, or look up a specific program by name.

If you’ve attended college prior to applying to CCV, please arrange to have official copies of all previous transcripts sent to CCV’s registrar:

COVID-19 Update: All CCV programs have been approved for online delivery, so military-connected students enrolled in spring 2020 courses will not see a change in their Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Students planning to enroll in summer 2020 should contact the Veteran and Military Services Team for updated information.
Benefits pay for some or all of your educational expenses, which include tuition, fees, materials, supplies, books, and parking. Some benefits also come with a monthly housing allowance. There are two sources of military benefits: the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). VA benefits are called the GI Bill® (use the GI Bill Comparison Tool to explore) and DoD benefits are called “Tuition Assistance” and “MyCAA.” Payment received by the VA and/or DoD may not, under any circumstances, exceed 100% of the cost of student tuition and fees.
We know that navigating all these benefits, options, decisions, and applications can be confusing, but you are not doing this alone. CCV staff members have worked with many students to secure their benefits. We are here to help. Contact your Veteran & Military Resource Advisor for assistance.
Additionally, you can always track and manage all your benefits, including your education benefits, on the VA/DOD eBenefits website. Military records, including DD214, can be obtained through the federal Military Service Records office.
If you have never before used veteran education benefits, you need to apply online (for all benefits except Chapter 35) through the vets.gov link, ideally six to eight weeks prior to registering for classes. To complete the form you may need to upload documentation such as your most recent DD214 and/or a Notice of Basic Eligibility (NOBE).
The GI Bill Help Desk is a great place to find FAQs (account needed); you can also call the Help Desk at 1-888-GI- BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) with questions.

In today’s workplace, industry-recognized credentials carry earning power. Having skills in specific areas makes you an asset to employers.
At CCV, we offer credentialing and training opportunities at our locations around the state and online. These programs have been designed with input from Vermont employers regarding the skills and knowledge they’d like to see in workers. Get credentialed, get trained, get your next promotion.
As a front-line employee in the manufacturing sector, you know that the skills you have can translate into better positions and better pay. That’s why the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) developed the Certified Production Technician (CPT) program and why CCV offers it. Our CPT certification is an industry-recognized credential that sets you apart in the manufacturing field. Whether you’re an entry-level employee or working at the supervisory level, CPT certification means you’ve mastered the skills, can do the work, and are committed to your work in manufacturing. Moreover, CPT certification means you’ll qualify for higher-wage jobs and positions with stronger room for growth. The program consists of the following courses and credentials:
Principles of Manufacturing (3 credits)
Safety
Quality Practices & Measurement
Manufacturing Technology (3 credits)
Manufacturing Processes & Production
Maintenance Awareness
Green Production
CPT credits can be applied toward a STEM Studies degree.
CCV’s CPT program is a significant investment in your future. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a certification that demonstrates to potential employers that you have the knowledge and skills needed for a manufacturing job, increased job stability and earning power, and a nationally-recognized credential that you can take with you wherever you go.
The CCV TRIO Student Support Services program is a federally funded program designed to help eligible students reach their academic potential and meet their educational and career goals. CCV TRIO is funded to serve only 225 students; as such, we have a selective application process that assesses student motivation, academic need, and ability to benefit.
Admission to CCV’s TRIO program is not automatic; it is a privilege. While CCV’s TRIO program is designed to help students succeed, it takes a commitment by the student to be truly effective.

Priority advising with a TRIO advisor who will serve as an academic mentor and transfer counselor
