Few things can get you more college or career ready than a group research assignment and presentation. Students in the St. Charles County CAPS program made it look easy. The Centers for Advanced Professional Studies provide high school students from all five county school districts the chance to work together in real-world settings. Earlier this month a team presented their data and marketing proposal to the county Workforce Development Board. “Not only did they have great data and ideas, they did a PHENOMENAL job speaking and presenting,” one board member shared in an email. Their recommendations are being implemented by one of the sub-committees of that Board! Working together to build the workforce of tomorrow. You can learn more about CAPS at scccaps.org
