As Texas reported its first cases of COVID-19, Southern Careers Institute moved swiftly to create a hybrid and online instruction plan to ensure continued training while keeping students, faculty and staff safe in the midst of the pandemic. Under Southern Careers Institute’s fully hybrid format, students whose programs require lab hours do most of their learning online, and come to a lab twice per week, observing responsible social distancing practices in which there are never more than ten people in a room. In addition, Southern Careers Institute has enhanced lab cleaning practices by disinfecting classrooms and equipment after each use and providing hand sanitizing stations and wipes to students in the labs. Programs not requiring lab hours such as Administrative Assistant, Business Administration, Business Accounting Specialist, Medical Billing and Coding, and Computer Support Specialist are now conducted completely online and each course can be completed in just three weeks.
