About Us

SOUTHERN CAREERS INSTITUTE ABOUT US

SCI has been teaching students for over 40 years. Each day, we come closer to achieving our goal of closing the skills gap for everyday people by empowering them for new careers through education. Our faculty helps students find their career passion so they can learn, do, and live their passion in as little as 9 months with successful full-time enrollment.

It’s one thing to claim you’re helping students find careers, but it’s another to put it into practice.

Here’s how we help students train for a career:

  1. Prepare students for National and State certifications.
    Most programs at SCI focus on training that will help them become eligible to earn multiple certifications.
  1. Skill Badges
    It’s hard to remember what you’ve learned and sometimes doubt creeps in about whether you’re on the right path. SCI gives students skill badges to help them mark milestones, help market themselves, and understand how their skills are valuable on the market.
  1. SCI Career Hub
    SCI gives students support long after they’ve graduated. The goal is provide the connections and support to help graduates land on their feet.

And so much more. If you want to know more about SCI, please contact a representative at 1.833.SCI.TEXAS
