Juniors and Seniors!! Do you have skills? Will those skills help you in the areas of electronics, mechanical engineering, technology, or robotics? Are you interested in being paid to finish high school and attend ACC? Would a guaranteed job after high school be helpful to you? If the answer to any or all of these questions is YES, come to the Career Accelerator Program Information Session where you can be a student apprentice and earn money. This information session will be held for parents and students on November 15th at 6:00 pm in the Auditorium.

Explore the Possibilities in Automotive, Quality Control, Electronics, Plastics, Electrical Systems, Textiles, Robotics, Engineering, Machining, Chemicals and Welding. Attendance at an information session is the first step in creating a solid foundation for your future through the CAP program. See you Wednesday, November 15th at 6 pm.
