Summit Prep

Summit Academy OIC is an accredited, nonprofit Career and Technical Education (CTE) Institute located in North Minneapolis.

Summit offers specializations and industry certifications for in-demand careers in Information Technology (IT), Construction, and Medical Administrative Assistant through 20-week accredited programs, delivering academic rigor alongside marketable skills and connections to employers. Summit’s workforce-driven model also offers accelerated 10-week GED training.

Summit Academy OIC was created after two established training and job placement programs merged forces in 1996: Twin Cities Opportunities Industrialization Center and Two or More. The resulting Summit Academy was a vocational training center focused on giving low-income adults access to skills for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Embracing a comprehensive community focus, we located ourselves in the heart of North Minneapolis, where we now have two campuses today.

Today, our mission is still to empower individuals to develop their ability to thrive and become contributing citizens in their communities and economic drivers of the State of Minnesota. Students enroll at Summit Academy each year from across the seven-county metropolitan area.

Summit Prep exists within Summit Academy OIC to help students prepare for entrance into the 10 week GED program. 

Summit Prep is a 5 week long program that focuses on supporting students in the subject areas of Reading and Math. Volunteers are vital to our program, as all our classes are volunteer led.
