Attending the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC) is a great opportunity to earn elective credits in an area that interests you rather than taking electives that you are selecting simply because they will fill up your schedule. With over 25 different programs available, there are many unique experiences and opportunities available that can give you a jump start on a career and can also stand out to colleges.
One thing to realize about the Career Center is that they partner with 15 different districts from across Central Ohio. So by attending the Career Center you have the chance to meet new people who have similar interests. Each student is still involved in the activities in their home school such as sports and clubs, but this just extends that network of friends and contacts. I will also point out that while it is a huge advantage to have that many different schools all working with the career center, it also means that the 25 spots available in each program (except Digital Design which has 50 spots available) are going to be very competitive to apply and get a seat. As a result, if DACC interests you, I encourage you to explore the websites, virtual tour and apply as soon as possible.
DACC will be hosting an Open House on December 2nd. They will have 2 different sessions that span from 4:30-7:30pm and each student can register and bring one parent/ guardian with them for the visit to see the programs first-hand. Please be sure to sign up for your preferred session ASAP so that you don't get closed out of the opportunity.
They also have an in-depth website that features virtual tours, videos of every program, and a great deal of information to help inform students and parents of the opportunities available.
Their application went live yesterday and the priority application deadline is January 14th.
I strongly encourage you to check out the programs because the hands on opportunities to learn something new while also gaining your required elective credits can be a very appealing option!
