“Middle school and high school is a critical time, when students are just beginning to imagine what’s possible for their future,” said Emma Phipps, CODCA’s Career and Technical Education Dean. “At CODCA, our students have a unique opportunity to discover future career opportunities that really motivate them. We’re excited to extend that opportunity to middle school students as well.”
