Metro Enrollment Process

The enrollment process consists of an Orientation and Assessment testing. No appointment is necessary.

  • Orientation every Thursday at 11 a.m.
  • Assessment testing every Friday at 8:00 a.m.

The Orientation will inform you in detail of our services, the eligibility requirements, and procedures for enrollment. You must attend an Orientation prior to taking the Assessment test. The Assessment test measures aptitude, abilities and skill levels. While carefully considering your interests and values, our staff will help you determine the occupations in which you may be most successful.
