Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI)

What is VPI?
Vocational Preparatory Instruction is a self-paced instructional program for students in career (vocational) education such as Corrections, Practical Nursing, Allied Health, Law Enforcement, Computer Repair, etc. It provides instruction in reading, mathematics, language arts, workforce readiness (employability), and study skills.  VPI is beneficial to students enrolled in career (vocational) education programs who have not met basic entry/exit level test requirements.

What Happens After Enrollment in VPI?
Students are interviewed to determine the areas of study they need and to identify their individual goals.  For certificate programs,  they take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) in the required areas. Based on the test results and/or consultation with the student, a course of study is prescribed. Students may register for one or more VPI courses depending on their identified needs. Workforce readiness (employability instruction) is offered concurrently with reading, math and language arts courses. One vocational credit hour per course will be earned for each module.
