There are also several non-consortium school districts that have agreements with the Skills Center.

In addition to earning 1½ high school credits per semester, many programs at the Skills Center provide both paid and unpaid internships for students. Students have the opportunity to earn program and/or industry-recognized certifications and be able to enter the community college system with advanced placement standing and/or college credits through articulation agreements with the colleges.

The purpose of the Spokane Skills Center is to prepare students with career entry skills and knowledge by creating a quality learning environment, which simulates the professional-technical world of work.
