Columbia Public Schools
Our Mission
The mission of the Professional and Community Education department of the Columbia Area Career Center is to provide a learning environment and educational opportunities for our community. These opportunities lie in two areas: skill development to obtain or advance employment and personal enrichment. We will continually monitor the training needs of our community and work diligently to meet those needs.
