Our Mission
The College and Career Accelerator (CCA) exists to provide customized postsecondary educational and career opportunities for students while still enrolled at their home high school. Collaboratively, with our school district partners, we provide programs that are aligned with the interests of students and the workforce needs of local businesses in the Northwest Region and across Connecticut.
Readiness
Through enrollment in college courses, certificates, and/or degrees and in conjunction with Work Based Learning, students will be prepared to enter the college and career world.
Community
We provide an innovative and supportive environment where students will explore their interests and potentials, while developing essential career skills.
Accessibility
We provide college credit programs and credentials that increase access to high-demand/high-salary occupational opportunities as well as allow for greater access to future educational opportunities.
