If you could talk to and learn skills and abilities from someone who is actually working in your Dream Career, would you do it?

The mission of the CAP (Career Advancement Program) lecture series is to establish supportive relationships between professionals and SLCC students. This is to broaden the students’ vision into their future to help them attain their fullest academic, emotional and social potential by creating a firm educational foundation.

Each professional who presents at CAP will have a story of overcoming obstacles, as there are many, and how you can progress by conquering them.
