Printer-friendly version

The Career and Postsecondary Encouragement Network is a free online system of middle and high school assessments. It offers student-submitted information about academic and career interests, needs for assistance, and student goals, barriers, experiences, and interest in career-guidance services and activities. CAPE provides several powerful tools, including school reports that can be disaggregated by more than 15 variables. The session will explore how to use data generated by CAPE to improve counseling and guidance services. (Area B: Increasing Access)
