Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI)
| What is VPI? Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) is a self-paced instructional program for students enrolled in career (vocational) programs such as Corrections, Practical Nursing, Allied Health, Law Enforcement, Computer Repair, etc. VPI provides instruction in reading, mathematics, language arts, workforce readiness (employability), and study skills.

What Happens After Enrollment in VPI?
Students are interviewed to determine the areas of study they need and to identify their individual goals. For certificate programs, they take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) in the required areas. Based on the test results and/or consultation with the student, a course of study is prescribed. Students may register for one or more VPI courses depending on their identified needs. Workforce readiness (employability instruction) is integrated with reading, math and language arts courses.
