2. Maricopa Skill Center (MSC)
transforms potential in today’s
students into excellence in
tomorrow’s employees.
Through hands–on training,
designed to prepare students
with the skills necessary to start a
career, the school offers short-term
certificate programs in Aesthetics,
Auto Body, Computer Support,
Construction, Cosmetology,
Customer Service, Healthcare,
Machining, Meat Cutting and
Welding to name a few.
These programs prepare students
to move seamlessly into the
workplace, with some programs
offering national and international
certification opportunities. Industry
partners participate in advisory
boards for each certificate
program to ensure our curriculum
prepares students to meet industry
standards.
MSC was founded in 1962 as part
of the Phoenix Union High School
District. In 1986, the Skill Center
became a division of Maricopa
Technical College, now GateWay
Community College. In 1989, MSC
moved to its current location at
1245 E. Buckeye Road, Phoenix.
To help meet needs in north
Phoenix, in 2013, MSC opened a
campus at 2931 W. Bell Road, which
offers Aesthetics, Cosmetology
and Massage Therapy, with plans
to expand to include business and
other programs.
It is a priority at MSC to assist
students gain employment upon
graduating. The Workforce
Development Department works
closely with students to prepare
them for job searches, interviews
and resume building. MSC and
Goodwill of Central Arizona
partnered in 2013 to open Goodwill
Career Centers at both campuses.
The career centers are open to the
public, offering free assistance with
jobs searches.
Start times for all programs
vary throughout the year. Those
interested in attending MSC or
want to learn more are encouraged
to participate in a campus tour.
Tours are given at 3 p.m. on
Mondays, and 9:30 a.m. on Fridays
(Thursdays during the summer) at
both locations.
Visit us to see why our motto is
Education that Works!
