All About Innovation

Carrington College California runs on the premise that a quality education (aka career preparation) needs to be grounded in innovation. For this reason, there are a few valuable guidelines that Carrington College California has implemented and strives to follow closely, including:

1. The available programs should be a reflection of industries and sectors that are currently in-demand and have a positive job outlook.
2. Program curricula should be updated on a regular basis to keep up with industry trends and advances.
3. The on-site facilities and equipment, as well as the teaching methods and approaches should be carefully overseen to help ensure they stay up-to-date.

Carefully-Crafted Curricula

Carrington College California believes that when it comes to career training, there needs to be an effective balance between classroom learning and practical experience. Classroom learning is vital, since heading straight into a real-world environment would be like putting the cart before the horse. However, the faculty understands that theoretical knowledge can only take you so far, and a comprehensive learning experience should include working with the tools and technologies found in the industry. Where possible, Carrington College California also strives to provide opportunities to go out into the world, apply your skills, and learn what it takes to make it in your chosen field.

For this reason, the majority of programs are typically organized into three different segments: classroom/theoretical training, practical training, and real-world experience. The classroom portion usually involves formal lectures and theoretical/textbook learning. The practical component can include hands-on activities, and training with industry-related tools, technologies, and equipment. The majority of programs also include an externship, clinical, or fieldwork component within an off-campus location.

Where applicable, the programs also integrate preparation for national certification examinations and licensing.
