Career and Professional (CAP) AcademiesOVERVIEW

All Roads Lead to a Career!

GOALS

• Why do we have CAP academies?

• What is a CAP academy?

• How do CAP academies impact your school?

In 2007, the Career and Professional Education Act became Florida Statute (CAPE Act) and created CAP Academies

CAP Academies: • improve student academic performance• articulate secondary coursework to postsecondary level

coursework• provide the opportunity for students to earn a nationally-

recognized, adult-level industry certification;• provides hands-on career training to students.

Why do we have CAP Academies?

The CAPE Act required school districts to develop and implement Career and Professional (CAP) Academies.

HS – Almost all HS CTE programs are CAP Academies.MS – Several middle schools have a Business/IT CAP Academy.

Why do we have CAP Academies? (cont.)

What is a CAP Academy?Requirements/components for a CAP Academy include:

• a CTE program;

• rigorous academics;

• a teacher with the appropriate industry certification (and program if applicable);

• a local postsecondary articulation;

• the opportunity for students to earn the appropriate certification prior to graduation;

• industry advisory committee (employers)

• CAP Academy team (school personnel)

How do CAP Academies Impact High Schools?

Bonus FTE funding (HS Only) currently .1 or .2 FTE (approx. $400 or $800) per

certification; 80% goes to the CTE program generating funds

School Grade industry certification contributes to the school

grade the same as AP and Dual Enrollment

FYI - CAP Academies

• Industry Certification passage is noted on diploma.

• Bonus FTE Funds should pay for certification exams (HS only)

• Bonus FTE may also pay for program supplies, equipment, etc…

• Teachers receive $25 per student certification the following year

Soft SkillsCommunication, conflict management, human relations, presentations, negotiation, team building, and other abilities are defined in terms of expected outcomes and not as a specific method or technique such as statistical analysis.
