Quickstart Program at LCCC Gives Students Jump on Degree Completion and Job Entry

Schnecksville, Pa., Aug. 7, 2024 – Ready to get started on your college degree but need to earn work credentials quickly? Lehigh Carbon Community College can help students get a jump start this fall with courses packaged to accelerate degree completion and entry into a career. The Quickstart program will help students interested in specific programs within Business, Technology, Health Care, Teacher Education, Visual Arts and HVACR to get started on their degree and advance quickly into a career path.

Fall classes start Monday, Aug. 26.

These courses are designed to help students develop or improve skills in their current or potential jobs, and to continue on the pathway to degree completion, and even a bachelor’s degree, for better career options.

Quickstart programs are:

Business Management

Electrical Technology

Healthcare

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR)

Teacher Education

Visual Arts

These programs lay out a set of courses that can be completed in one or two semesters. The specific classes were selected because they can launch the student quickly into a certificate or associate degree program and be used to qualify for an entry level job in their career of choice.

Courses are packaged for a full-time student, although students can work with advisors to design a schedule that works for them. Depending on the program, courses are offered at the main campus in Schnecksville, as well as the sites in Allentown and Tamaqua and online. Courses are offered in the day or evening.
