actual employers, all while receiving high school and college credit. MNCAPS is an example of how business, community and public education can partner to produce personalized learning experiences and educate the workforce of tomorrow, especially in high skill, high-demand jobs. MNCAPS will provide students with real-world immersion learning in professional settings.

MNCAPS is open to all juniors and seniors in the Prior Lake-Savage and Farmington Area Public school districts. MNCAPS may be a great option for students who intend to head straight into the workforce, attend community/technical college or pursue a four-year college degree.
