Community Based Education Development

The Mission of CBD College is to provide educational opportunities, leading to careers or career advancement, in an open and supportive environment that encourages a lifelong quest for knowledge.
The Institutional Goals are to provide quality educational programs that can be completed in a relatively short time period and provide students the tools necessary for immediate and productive employment.

At CBD College, students gain the knowledge and skills needed to work in industries with a wide range of opportunities and specialties. Guided by a professional and dedicated staff, students enroll in a challenging and comprehensive curriculum that suits their individual needs. But the best part of CBD is the sense of community. Friendships develop beyond the classroom among students and staff, and CBD continues to provide cultural and career guidance for a promising future.

Students who are at minimum 17 years of age may be accepted and enrolled if they have earned a high school diploma or its equivalent; or if they have successfully completed their education in a foreign country where that education is recognized as being equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma. Students must provide a copy of a high school diploma, an official high school transcript or GED certification or fill out a transcript request and we will try to obtain a copy of the document. Based on our admissions policy, we do not enroll students under the Ability to Benefit Criteria.

CBD faculty and staff are available to advise students on academic problems, and, if necessary, provide referral to special counseling services when required. All efforts will be made to provide a supportive environment to assist each student in maintaining and continuing the program.

The College maintains an ongoing relationship with its graduates through a job placement service, regardless of the year of graduation. It is understood that while employment services may be provided, no promise or guarantee of employment can be made.

Approximately four (4) weeks prior to graduation, students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Placement Office for a formal interview and the development of a student employment plan. Qualified candidates are carefully screened prior to job referral. Many students find employment without the help of the Placement Office. These graduates are requested to inform the Placement Office of their employment.
