GO CAPS

Greater Ozarks Centers for Advanced Professional Studies (GO CAPS) is a unique, yearlong learning experience that allows high school juniors and seniors to test drive future career options. Students develop real world professional skills as they are embedded in partner businesses. GO CAPS gives students the chance to explore their interests in five areas: Engineering and Manufacturing, Business and Entrepreneurship, and Medicine and Health Care. Students attend a morning session (8-10:30 a.m.) or an afternoon session (noon-2:30 p.m.) every day throughout the school year. Business partners are the cornerstone of the program, by providing guest lecturers and instruction, hosting internships/job shadowing opportunities or mentoring students, serving on an advisory council to influence curriculum, creating a client project for students to partner on, hosting students at the business, providing equipment/supplies, or sending students through the company’s professional development.
