Why PCI?
Today, higher education in America often comes with overwhelming challenges—tuition costs that leave families burdened with $30K–$50K in debt, students entering college without a clear direction, and wasted time when majors or career paths change. Too many young adults feel pressure to commit before they truly understand their options. PCI exists to change that. We give seniors and recent graduates the chance to explore multiple industries, earn micro-credentials, and build a support network of mentors and peers—before making costly decisions. And as our students succeed, PCI grows with them: each graduate becomes part of a lifelong community, strengthening the institute and paving the way for the next generation to find clarity, confidence, and career success.
Student Curriculum
The PCI curriculum is a milestone-based program built for high school seniors and recent graduates. Students explore career paths across Business, Computer Science, Media, Health & Medicine, and Law. through three modules, each combining hands-on learning with mentorship. The program includes structured mentor sessions, practical skill-building, and a capstone project that showcases readiness to colleges and employers. Designed for completion in six months, with up to one year of flexibility, PCI ensures every student graduates with clarity, certifications, and confidence.
