Cache CAPS Program
What is CAPS?
The Cache Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) is a unique program that takes high school Juniors and Seniors beyond the classroom and into the real world. Through industry-provided projects and mentorship from industry professionals, students gain practical experience while using the same tools and technology found in today’s workplaces. The Cache CAPS partnership between the Cache District, local businesses, and industry mentors allows students to solve profession-based challenges in a collaborative, professional environment. This immersive experience helps students build valuable skills, earn high school and college credit, and make connections to jumpstart their college and career goals.
Interested students should talk to their high school counselor today about enrolling in CAPS courses beginning in Fall 2025!

All Cache CAPS courses are two-hour experiences and will be held during each trimester's 4th and 5th hours. Students may take the CAPS program twice between their Junior and Senior years.
