East Allen Career Center

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Welcome to the East Allen Career Center webpage!

The Career Center opened in August of 2020 starting out with five career and technical programs. These programs had been selected and designed specifically to prepare students for the jobs available in Northeast Indiana. Students get hands-on experience in a variety of fields including health care, manufacturing, technology, skilled trades, and with our newest program, criminal justice.

All of our programs will lead to industry certifications and dual college credits, preparing students for immediate workforce entry or continuing education.
The East Allen Career Center has industry, and higher education partners to assist students in the transition from high school to work and/or college.
East Allen County Schools' Juniors & Seniors are eligible to attend the Career Center.

If you'd like to know more about all of the exciting opportunities the Career Center has to offer, contact us between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm at (260) 446-0260, or visit the Staff Directory page for more contact options.
