Career Online High School is returning to the Osceola Library System starting in March. The program offers adults the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and a career certificate online, and provides a limited number of scholarships to qualified students who are looking to advance their careers, prepare for workforce entry, or continue their education. Applicants who complete the online self-assessment, the prerequisite course, and an in-person interview will be considered for enrollment.
To be eligible, applicants must be at least 19 years old, live in Osceola County, have an Osceola Library card in good standing or be willing and eligible to apply for one, and have completed at least one year of high school.
Once enrolled, each student is paired with an online academic coach who provides 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 has up to 18 months to finish, and is expected to spend 8 to 10 hours per week on assignments, with each credit designed to be completed over one month. Technology will be provided to those who lack consistent access. For more information, the library system can be reached at cohs@osceolalibrary.org or 407.742.8888.
