Program Overview |
|
The C.P.T.F.A Program provides training for students interested in careers in public safety. The four year program was developed jointly by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), the Chicago Police Department (CPD), the Chicago Fire Department (CFD), The program will recruit and train up to 300 public and non public high school students each year. One of the immediate goals is to provide a pool of qualified applicants. The C.P.F.T.A curriculum allows Chicago juniors and seniors who are city residents to progress seamlessly from high school directly into any City College of Chicago to complete an Associates degree. In addition to the high school and college training, students have the opportunity to participate in two paid summer internships to promote a better understanding of all aspects of career public safety. After completing all 4-years of the program, students will have met the minimum educational requirements to take the Chicago Police and Fire Department examinations for the entry into their respective academies.
