Welcome to Career Online High School!

Milwaukee Public Library offers a scholarship program for Career Online High School (COHS). From this Online Instruction Center, you can:

• Browse the career courses available
• Enroll for Part 1: the COHS prerequisite career course
• Enroll in Part 2: the full COHS program
• Log-in as a student and access your classroom

Here’s how it works:

Requirements: Must be a City of Milwaukee resident, be at least 23 years old, and have successfully completed the 8th grade.

Step 1 – Your online self-assessment indicates that you meet the basic requirements for the program and are ready to enroll in the two-week long prerequisite career course.

Step 2 – Browse the catalog and choose your career focus e.g. Part 1 – Certified Protection Officer.  Use your library card to enroll in the course of your choice. This is a two-week long prerequisite course. Note: it is important that you complete the prerequisite coursework in two weeks or less.

Step 3 – If you successfully complete the two-week long prerequisite course with a 70% or higher and with two weeks or less, your library will contact you within 5 days to schedule an interview at the library to discuss your application for a scholarship award.

Step 4 – Upon completion of your interview, your library will contact you within 5 days about the scholarship award.

If accepted into the program, you will enroll in Part 2 of this career area e.g. Part 2 - Certified Protection Officer (Prerequisite required). This course is a continuation of the career area you selected for your prerequisite course. You will gain entry into your online classroom within 72 hours.
