CACC Faculty and Staff STUDENT QUOTE “Capital Area Career Center was like my second home. It was a place where I was able to do what I love every day, and I can honestly say it changed my life.” KATIE DENCZEK, 2014, CULINARY ARTS & HOSPITALITY TABLE OF CONTENTS HEALTH SCIENCES RIGOR, RELEVANCE & RELATIONSHIPS2 COLLEGE PARTNERSHIPS & PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS3 CAHEP (Capital Area Healthcare Education Partnership) Health Occupations Medical Technology Careers 24 26 28 WORK VALUES4 HUMAN SERVICES ARTS & COMMUNICATIONS Career Start 30 Cosmetology32 Law Enforcement 34 New Media SET (Students in Entertainment Technology) 6 8 BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY Culinary Arts & Hospitality Programming, Databases & Website Development 10 12 ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY Advanced Engineering Technologies Automotive Technology Construction Technology Precision Machining Technology Welding Technology STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 36 CACC EVENTS 38 INGHAM ISD SERVICE AREA MAP 38 STUDENT SERVICES 39 EATON RESA PROGRAMS 39 NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE 40 INGHAM ISD BOARD OF EDUCATION 41 14 16 18 20 22 1 RIGOR, RELEVANCE & RELATIONSHIPS — THE THREE R’S Vocational education used to be for students who had no plans to go to college. Those days are long gone. Now most careers require additional education after high school. To support this movement students can now gain college credit while in high school at career and technical education centers across the country. The new rigorous high school standards challenge students to gain more from their high school experience. Attending the Career Center balances the three R’s—rigorous content, relevant experiences and relationships that last a lifetime. RIGOR RELEVANCE RELATIONSHIPS When you walk into our building you may be misled by the laughter, smiles and complete engagement of our students, but don’t be. When you are analyzing cell tissue, working with patients in a health care facility, building a house, welding metals, drawing a precise model of a metal part or using the precision machining equipment in the building, it is anything but easy. Over 70 percent of Career Center students have post-high school education or training in mind for their future. David Langford said, “relevance is the holy grail of education.” He believes in students taking control of their educational goals and creating their own path to success. At the Career Center, students put their academics to the test in programs that are relevant to their future career goals. So much time and money can be saved if this step is taken prior to college. Everyone will work at some point in their life. The Career Center is a virtual playground of career fields available to help students really explore and prepare for a future that is relevant to them as individuals. Think about teachers from high school that really made a difference. We pride ourselves on having industry experts as instructors who truly care about the impact they have on their students. Student success, with parent involvement, is our top priority. Community and business relationships are beneficial to our programs and students. Business advisors keep our programs connected with what’s needed by employers today and in the future. Our community outreach helps students understand how they can help those in need, even by taking the smallest steps. 2 | CAPITAL AREA CAREER CENTER | WWW.INGHAMISD.ORG/CACC COLLEGE PARTNERSHIPS & PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION As we create a bridge to adulthood for Career Center students, we offer many opportunities to help them advance in a career field of choice. In addition to high school credit, most programs also offer college credit, state certification or national certification. With college credit and certifications, students have the opportunity to get a jump start on their life after high school. The Career Center offers a way to take the educational experience beyond the classroom.

He got a jump start on college through dual enrollment, articulated credits, and scholarship opportunities. He was also able to meet area employers through job shadows, which further authenticated what he sees as his future possibilities. There is nothing better for a parent than to see their child happy, certain, and excited about their future.” JEFF DAMAN, DANSVILLE PARENT ServSafe 3 WORK VALUES You may have an interest in a particular career and technical training program, but do you know if that program matches your work values? Values play an important part in the selection of an occupation or a career and technical training program. Research has shown that values often are the strongest determinant in satisfaction and retention. Unfortunately, research also shows values are often the most overlooked in career planning. For a deeper dive into understanding what CACC programs or future careers you might like, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with Career Assessment Services at the CACC. A Comprehensive Career Assessment includes exploration of your abilities, aptitudes, learning styles, personality style, work values, and interests related to your future career choices and educational planning.

The Law Enforcement program will help prepare you for an exciting future career in positions ranging from local police officers, county sheriff deputies, State Police and Natural Resource Officers to name a few. There are also many federal law enforcement careers like the Federal Bureau of Investigation, military branch police and Home Land Security positions. All careers in Law Enforcement will require additional training once hired. However, the Law Enforcement program at CACC will provide students with training in patrol tactical skills, criminal law and procedure and criminal investigation. The program will also provide a broad understanding of law enforcement traits and skills which will give students an advantage in this highly competitive career field.
