Director’s Message

We are an eight school district educational cooperative serving students in the Bremerton, Central Kitsap, North Kitsap, North Mason, Peninsula, Quilcene, Bainbridge Island and South Kitsap School Districts as an off-campus training site extension of the sending high schools.

The Skills Center provides an opportunity for students between the ages of 16 and 21 or in grades 11 or 12 to receive job training as part of the public educational system at no cost to the student. This provides students with the opportunity to get a jump-start on a post-secondary education.

Our students learn the technical knowledge and skills needed to either receive advanced placement in apprenticeships, technical schools, two and four colleges and universities, or gain direct entry-level employment in a vocation.

Our success rate is high for students going on to further education and for students gaining employment after graduation. This is largely due to having an outstanding teaching staff of industry professionals with many years of experience in their respective fields. We’re proud of our students’ and staffs’ daily educational accomplishments.
