The St. Charles County CAPS Technology Solutions associates have been working hard at their various internships for a full month now!

Currently, Destiny is working on building different career pages/websites for Turnkey Technologies clients. She loves working with graphic design and web development on a daily basis because it creates skills that are desirable for future employers.

Zach is currently learning how to implement training and solutions across an entire organization using Google training. He loves enhancing his soft skills in a real world setting and getting valuable experience before entering the workforce.

Kobe is using Arc Maps (GIS) to map the locations of all fire hydrants in St. Charles County. Through this project, he is hoping to create a GPS system that firefighters can use to find fire hydrants easily.

Gabriella values the advice given to her from her coworkers about the corporate world and other tips. She also loves the ability to get her foot-in-the-door with her internships through various opportunities.

Jordan is currently working on the CAPS end of year celebration video in his own computer room at Lewis and Clark Career Center using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. He is excited to continue to connect with business professionals in their field of work.

Currently, Ashton is working on google drive and database management/design/printing. He believes that the most beneficial experience so far concerning his internship is hands-on experience and being surrounded by people that will help if he needs it.

SCC CAPS associates drove out to Wright City, Missouri to take a tour of the EPC Electronics Recycling Center. EPC's Wright City recycling facility features a $1.7 million magnetic optical sorter shredding machine, which includes smart technology, automating the process of sorting, and decommissioning computer equipment. It eliminates the human risk associated with decommissioning. Overall, the associates experienced a very educational and engaging tour through the facility and even learned of a few career opportunities that EPC offers.

Colten Smith, a CAPS alumni from last school year, visited the AM CAPS associates to share his experience with the computer refresh project. This was to help associates with repairing their assigned computers.

At the end of February, the SCC CAPS Program is holding their parent-instructor-associate conferences. This is a great opportunity for associates to sit down with their parents and instructors to reflect on their internship learning so far. Associates will communicate to their parents about their accomplishments and their goals for their internship through a Google Slide presentation.

The SCC CAPS program immerses students in professional environments where curriculum has been developed by industry professionals ensuring what is taught in the classroom is relevant to the workforce. In technology solutions, students learn to utilize technology in order to design products and solve business problems. In addition to working with technology, students have the opportunity to learn important soft skills and build their professional networks before venturing into the workforce.
