Bright Future 
What is the Bright Future program?
Poised to shape the workforce of tomorrow, the Bright Future program gives students an opportunity to start their college courses early by allowing qualified high school students access to accredited programs at Seattle Vocational Institute. The program is designed to assist the participants in earning a high school diploma and a certificate of completion in one of SVI's professional technical programs. Students are eligible to enroll in the vocational programs of the Allied Health Division (Medical and Dental), Business Computers Division and Multiple Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Program and the School of Cosmetology.
The Bright Future Program is currently a partnership between Cleveland High School, Ingraham High School, Marshall Alternative High School, Nathan Hale, Roosevelt High School, South Lake High School and Seattle Vocational Institute. Other schools may participate with approval from the counselor and/or principal. Credits earned at SVI count towards Occupational Ed., Electives, and in some cases Science, Health, English, and History credits at Seattle high schools.
