About the CACC - Ingham ISD

Career & Technical Education programs at the Capital Area Career Center offer students "authentic instruction".

What does that mean? It means students acquire knowledge at CACC, both academic and technical, and then they connect to the world beyond the classroom through real world work-based learning experiences, using that knowledge.

CACC students learn on up-to-date tools, equipment and software as used by business and industry professionals.
CACC students work with real customers in their programs to produce a product or service.
CACC students work in local businesses, industries, schools, and medical facilities, in both paid and unpaid positions, to continuously increase their skills and knowledge.
CACC students are career and college ready because of their work-based learning experiences, a requirement for acceptance into many college programs.
CACC students can earn state or national certification in many fields, as listed below:
     o MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist in Word, Excel, Access, and/or Powerpoint)
     o A+ (Computer Repair Technician – National Certification)
     o HT (Histologic Technician – National Certification)
     o NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Standards – National Certification)

Our current and past students and parents agree, the CACC offers great opportunities for high school juniors and seniors who will live and work in a global economy!
