@CF_CAPS alumnus, Dai Dai, returned to @CF_HighSchool to help out a student who didn't have easy access to a barber. When young people develop #DurableSkills and confidence, those skills often find their way back to the community. Some of the best moments in ed happen quietly.

Fall '25 @CF_CAPS survey: What did you enjoy about CAPS? - Building strong connections - Real-World experience - Personal growth and confidence #MakeItReal

It's official. The Tiger's name is... 🐅🐅🐅 Shout out to all of our @CF_CAPS associates who have brought this project to life and brought us thus far. There's still quite a bit of work to do, and we look forward to seeing the tigers next year! 😊

Keeping track of equipment is a problem across all industries, but when it effects patient care at a hospital the effects are exponential when it comes to expenses & quality care. @CFCAPSMed design sprint with Jessie @AllenHospital is tasked with solving this issue. #MakeItReal

Beautiful day for hands on work, playing in the spring mud, and giving back to the community with @iaheartlandhfh all while developing real world skills. Doesn't get much better than that when it comes to #workbasedlearning. #MakeitReal

Yesterday we joined @adamsteen and @WesternHome_ in a conversation on #workforcedevelopment where our partnership was highlighted in #workforcedevelopment. We are extremely grateful for our community partners who are vital to preparing all students for their purpose #MakeItReal

It's been a crazier start to the semester, but our associates are taking it in great stride. These past couple of weeks have included tours of UNI's Applied Engineering program, @growcedarvalley, @PumpViking, and @KRYTONMetals. It's been great to get out into the community.

@CedarValleyCAPS @growcedarvalley Not an easy task to exemplify the entire @growcedarvalley region in one logo. Well done @JesupCaps ! #MakeItReal

Congratulations to Jesup CAPS associates, whose wavy “V” logo design won our Spring 2026 Cedar Valley CAPS Sprint! "Their design beautifully ties together the Cedar River, six counties, and the Valley itself" - Jamie Orr @growcedarvalley #CAPSnetwork #CedarValleyProud #cfcaps

Proud to partner with #CVMA and @growcedarvalley in supporting students interested in Cedar Valley manufacturing! Together we’re strengthening workforce pathways, fostering innovation, and connecting students with career opportunities in manufacturing! @CF_schools @CF_CAPS

Shoutout to @CFDowntown director Kim Bear for highlighting a CF CAPS project at the @CityCF meeting! CAPS associates researched, coordinated with the City & @CFUNews paving the way for wrapping electrical boxes with local art #MakeItReal Minute 30:30 youtube.com/live/SUzd_Vkiz…

This week over 100 @CedarValleyCAPS associates from 5 schools came together for project training driven by #DesignThinking. Cross-school collaboration sparks meaningful and memorable interactions. Love the energy that comes from wowing a client! #BetterTogether

Our Spring 2026 Design Sprint is complete. Last week, our team pitched some Grow Cedar Valley logo ideas to a few professionals and their peers. What can be a typically nerve-wracking event, our associates took it in stride, presented well, and came up with some cool designs.
