What can GO CAPS do for you?
- Learn inside a business setting. The GO CAPS classroom will be in a business or hospital, not the high school!
- Work on real-world projects. Many students have the opportunity to help business partners with projects.
- Learn about industry needs and trends.
- Identify individual interests and passions. Students involved in GO CAPS programs report having discovered career interests they never knew existed.
- Grow professional and technical skills early.
GO CAPS gives students the opportunity to job shadow, intern, work on real-world projects, make connections with future employers, and learn soft skills. Classrooms are located inside local businesses and students spend either the morning (8-10:30) or afternoon (12-2:30) in the GO CAPS program. GO CAPS gives students 3 ½ Practical Art Electives towards graduation.
