About Us
The primary purpose of the Kankakee Area Career Center (KACC) is to meet the Career and Technical Education needs of regional high school students.
The underlying function of the Career Center is to prepare students to select viable career paths and obtain the training and skills essential for continuing education and/or the job market.
Mission
KACC strives to make students confident and creative builders of their future. Our focus is on the whole person. We work toward an integrated curriculum, reaching across disciplines and removing boundaries in an atmosphere of cooperation with respect for individual differences and community values. Students are encouraged to meet academic challenges with openness, enthusiasm, and a willingness to solve problems.
The information in this book will highlight course descriptions, dual college credit, industry standard certifications and licenses, as well as additional options and opportunities through National Technical Honor Society, SkillsUSA and Student Advisory Council.
