Professional experiences with Kansas City Employers
Northland Center for Advanced Professional Studies (Northland CAPS) is the premier provider of professional, innovative educational experiences for students in the Northland region of Kansas City. With classes housed in several business locations throughout Clay and Platte counties, high school juniors and seniors from participating districts are provided a fully immersive educational experience in high-demand, high-skill careers that will rapidly accelerate students down their chosen career path.
Building Value Through Experience
Northland CAPS is a year-long program where in the fall student associates tackle real-world projects for local businesses, gaining hands-on experience and adding value to the community. They learn essential technical skills and professional competencies. In the spring, student associates put these skills into practice through internships with industry professionals.
