Let’s look back on our associates receiving their pens and notebooks for completing the CAPS onboarding process!

They’re committed to their professional growth, career discovery, and supporting their community! #STEMBest #CAPS

Our Northwestern College Leadership event this week provided a great lesson in adaptability as plans changed amidst a tornado warning!

Great to connect with other Siouxland CAPS Associates to discuss teamwork and project management.

Last week associates celebrated their journey from onboarding to official CAPS associates at the Penning Ceremony! Here’s to the endless possibilities ahead! #BHCAPS #FutureLeaders #CAPSAssociates #stembest CAPS Network Siouxland CAPS

Fantastic turnout at our 2nd annual Orange City Area Career Fair! Over 600 students seized the opportunity to hone professional skills, explore career paths, and network with 35 community partners.

Thanks to all who made this possible!

Our associates rocked their mock interviews today with Den Hartog Industries' HR team, showcasing their #durableskills .

The day got even better when one of them got to connect with their grandpa on the job site!

'It's all about the growth!' One our our favorite mantras at CAPS. Fun to see how far our associates have come and excited to see where they are driven to go!

A great day visiting Mount Vernon to see their vision come to life! Reinventing a school bus into a Learning Lab using community resources is an awesome #STEMBEST example! Thank you Jessica Fitzpatrick and Kari Martin for all you do!
