The idea to establish a Technical School[1] was a common idea among School Administrators and Board Members in Clarion County in the early-1970's, but was impossible for one sole district to put the idea to frution. The school opened in 1976 to students in grades 10-12 in the Allegheny-Clarion Valley, Clarion Area, Keystone and Redbank Valley school districts. Subsequently three other county school districts – Clarion-Limestone, Union and North Clarion – opted to become participating districts in the Clarion County Career Center. The Allied Health Nursing Program was added in 1981, as well as other adult education programs. The Career Center was adaquately renovated and structural addtoions were made at the beginning of the twenty-first century and were ready for the 2003-04 school term.
There are 11 programs of study at the Career Center. Students take their math courses at CCCC.
CCCC offers a plethora of Adult Education[2] opportunites such as Cake Decorating, Pharmacy Technician, Security Officer an Vehicle Inspection Agent.
A Licensed Practical Nursing program[3] is available to both high school and adult students, which began in 1981, the program is licensed by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, the program is located in a separate building, adjacent to the career center.
