PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A CAREER

Our career preparedness and college bridge programs open doors. Donor support is integral to two of our most impactful initiatives, career preparedness programming through our Career and Professional Experience (CAPX) office and our College Arts Access Program (CAAP).

Internships are essential for students as they seek to learn more about the professional world. Our Chicago Makers Internship Program, offered through CAPX, provided students with $72,500 of support from corporations, foundations, parents, and institutional leaders. This one-of-a-kind career preparedness initiative connects talented students, who are otherwise unable to accept unpaid internships, to professional opportunities.
