Explore Real-World Learning Experiences

 The CAPS (Center For Advanced Professional Studies) model is based in experiential, professional based learning. Here at Nebo CAPS, high school students are fully immersed in a professional culture, solving real world problems, through employer mentorship and all while receiving high school. CAPS is an example of how business, community and public education can partner to produce personalized learning experiences that educate the workforce of tomorrow, especially in high skill, high demand jobs. 

Our goals at Nebo CAPS are to:  

Improve Community Outreach: We love utilizing professional experience and support to create meaningful projects for our students. Our mantra is, “what is the 10th item on your to do list and would you be willing to hand that over to our students?” In addition to working one on one with community partner, we love to tap in to professional networks and possibly find additional projects for our students. 

 
Increase student engagement: Each student will complete at least one Capstone project per semester, either a project they are interested in, a "Passion Project," or in collaboration with an industry partner. This approach ensures that all students graduate from our program with valuable experience gained from participating in real-world, meaningful projects. 

Instill Professional Skills: A significant focus of the CAPS program is to instill in students the professional skills needed to find success in the workplace. Skills like professional business communication, interview skills, social media responsibility, resume writing, problem solving techniques and more.
