Drew Hayes Super Powereds series has five US Universities having programs specifically for supers who intend to become heros. It's a universe where there are a lot of people with a single metahuman power - from near worthless (I can change the color of my eyes) to incredibly powerful (absolute control of all material within 6' at the sub-atomic level). There are enough Supers that each school graduates either five or ten new superheroes every year. Superhero professional lifetimes apparently run from about a decade to until they die.

There's a class of metahumans called Powereds - they have an ability, but no control. One example was a guy who teleported up to several hundred miles every time he sneezed. They're ... not well treated by the Supers.

The Supers programs have an annual competition for their senior classes - that's apparently the only interaction between the schools at that level.

How the rest of the society deals with non-Super level metahumans was ... not within scope of the series. I would be interested to see how things get organized for them. There's got to be something to deal with the guy who's power is 'able to run fast' (not arbitrarily, but more on the order of a one-minute mile) who wants to be on a track team.
