About SCIA Proven Path to Career Success

Purpose Statement 

Our purpose is to close the talent skills gap by elevating human capital and empowering individuals in new careers while adhering to the highest education and business standards.

Of all the ways we help our students build successful lives, SCI is most proud of making each individual student more marketable in their field.

Southern Careers Institute has developed a laser focus on making our students more marketable with customized and employer-tailored programs.

We call our approach SCI Edge, and it makes our students as competitive as those of any accredited colleges or technical schools in Texas.

Increasing the demand for our graduates and ensuring their long-term success revolves around three key elements.

1. Preparing for National or State-Recognized Certifications

Most programs at SCI focus on preparing students with career training that will help them become eligible to earn multiple certifications and stand out when compared to graduates of other accredited colleges.

2. Career Skills Badges

Every program gives our students the opportunity to earn a variety of career skills with electronic badges that serve as credentials that our employer partners recognize and value.

3. SCI Connect

Our SCI Connect online platform matches our students to our employer network needs, and employers now have access to the verifiable skills badges and credentials in one location. Our platform gives every student an electronic profile that our career services team uses to market the student’s verifiable skills badges and certifications to the SCI employer network. The goal is to provide the connection with employers to help them stand above the crowd of graduates from other accredited technical schools.

We have offered medical and business programs since 1992, and in 1994 the pharmacy technician program was introduced. Today, SCI offers a variety of programs in the fields of medical, pharmacy, business, technology, and skilled trades such as Automotive, HVAC, and Welding. We are extraordinarily proud of how SCI has grown and helped to enhance our Texas communities.

Our number one priority is delivering an education that can help build your future. With multiple campuses located throughout Texas, you’re sure to find a location that works for you. We’re here for you every step of the way. At each campus our admissions staff is prepared to help you find a program that matches your interests, our education team will assist you as you progress through training, and career services will help you match your skills with employers’ needs after graduation.
