Earn Your High School Diploma and Career Certificate Online!
Career Online High School (COHS) offers adults the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and a career certificate online. This program provides a limited number of scholarships to qualified students who are looking to advance their careers and prepare for workforce entry or continue their education. Applicants who successfully complete the online self-assessment, the prerequisite course, and an in-person interview will be considered for enrollment.
How It Works/FAQs:
To be eligible for the COHS program, applicants must be:
- At least 19 years old
- An Osceola County Resident
- Have an Osceola Library card in good standing or be willing and eligible to apply for a Library card
- Completed at least one year of high school
Once enrolled, Career Online High School pairs each student with an online academic coach, who provides the students with an individual career path, offers ongoing guidance, evaluates performance and connects the student with resources needed to master the courses.
A student can complete the program in as little as five months, but will have up to 18 months to finish the program.
Students are expected to spend 8 to 10 hours per week on assignments; each credit is designed to be completed over the course of one month.
Technology will be provided to those who lack consistent access.
