CAPS Network
Global profession-based, experiential learning model serving students across 100 affiliate programs in 170+ districts.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The CAPS Network announced Monday that it secured just under $1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Education.
The organization said a $951,000 grant will “serve as a catalyst for” its ambitious plan to expand profession-based learning in rural America, with a particular focus on its home state of Kansas.
The CAPS Network said its primary objective with the grant is to “identify and collaborate with communities in rural America that share a vision of providing high school students with authentic, real-world experiences directly connected to professionals in various fields.”
CAPS said it plans to create 12-15 school district affiliations in 2024.
The initiative from CAPS is expected to be implemented over the course of the next three years, going through 2025-26.
