Students Prepared
The Career Accelerator Program gives high school juniors a head-start by connecting classroom learning with hands-on career exploration through a 20-hour “pre- internship.” After completing a series of classes that sharpen essential professional skills for today’s fast-changing workplace, students are matched with a local business. Over the course of four months, they spend 20 hours shadowing, learning, and working alongside professionals, gaining insights into career paths and workplace expectations.
CAP is offered exclusively in the Troy School District for high school juniors. The ideal CAP student demonstrates a strong work ethic, eagerness to learn, and a genuine interest in exploring opportunities beyond the classroom.
The student was fantastic. We look forward to participating again.

Mentorship is at the heart of the program. Just as today’s leaders once benefited from guidance and encouragement in their youth, CAP gives businesses the opportunity to provide that same support. By opening their doors, business hosts not only shape students’ futures but also continue the cycle of mentorship that helped them succeed.
The students want to learn. They want the tools to thrive.
