关于我们
The Cedar Falls Center for Advanced Professional Studies(CFCAPS) is a Cedar Falls Schools program that partners with Cedar Valley businesses to put high school students in a skilled career environment. Students are fully immersed in a professional environment at a host business for about two hours of their day with high school teachers and business mentors, earning high school and college credit. This is an opportunity to provide durable skills by focusing on real-world experiences outside of the classroom. The juniors and seniors will take on the title “associate,” exchanging homework and tests for assigned projects in which they’ll solve problems and meet deadlines. Instructors work with the student-associate on what it means to be a professional, problem solving, interacting with clients, doing quality work, meeting deadlines and communicating effectively. The CAPS concept was created by the Blue Valley School District in Overland Park, Kan., in 2008 and now enrolls hundreds of students. For more information, contact through email: [email protected]

It's not as simple as taking a mutiple choice test, capturing the stories of impact is critical in showing the value of #ProBL. We are grateful for all our community partners who are invested in CF CAPS

A highlight every semester for our associates. We are fortunate to have the wonderful team from UNI JPEC leading our leadership training. ##BetterTogether
We had an excellent time working with CAPS students last Friday at their leadership conference. High school students joined our team to engage in a variety of activities that challenged their problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. It’s always so much fun with CF CAPS!

Warning ?? "So most of you know that I have been a huge advocate for all things CAPS for years but… Seeing this experience through my daughter’s eyes and receiving a text that simply says “I love CAPS” makes CAPS even better than I thought. The impact that it has had on her as a person and who she wants to be when she grows up literally has me in tears as I write this. What you all are doing for our students/associates in Cedar Falls is beyond wonderful. Not only has she found her passion and cannot wait to be a teacher but she has also built relationships with teachers in the district and with her resident through the Legacy Program. As you leave for Christmas break please remember that you are making a huge difference." - CF Parent #BetterTogether #TuesdayMotivation #WBL #CAPSNetwork Western Home Communities
