NEWcaps is a partnership of the Neosho School District and Crowder College. The purpose of the partnership is to provide students exposure to the day-to-day challenges of local jobs, interaction with professionals, and real-world experiences. This inaugural year there are 17 students participating in two pathways: Healthcare and Business
Students earn college credit while working with area professionals in their respective fields. They gain exposure to the workplace through job shadowing and facility tours. Each month the students will have workshops based on real-world experience.
Kelly Lay, NEWcaps Director, and Chris Fenske, NHS Business instructor, are coordinating the program.
