Capturing Better Futures - Innovation meets Opportunity

Posted Date: 02/15/2024

The CTE project, Capturing Better Futures, which began in the 2023-2024 school year is a collaborative partnership between VPSB, CapturePoint Solutions LLC and United Association. The 2-year apprenticeship welding program will be centrally located at LHS and will serve 30 students (15 juniors and 15 seniors) from the 9 high schools. The program will provide underserved high school students with content knowledge and applied trade skills associated with pipeline construction. The 2-year apprenticeship program will prepare students with the training and skills to enter the workforce and to pursue employment either through the private or public sector or through United Association’s continued apprenticeship program. Students will have the opportunity to transition from high school to a high-wage, high-demand career.

The Great Plains Institute recently released a video showcasing this innovative collaboration, which is a one of a kind program, in the nation.
