Data Dive: Title Funding

CCA Career Corp

For annual Title funding, CCA must report engagement data in Field Trips (40% goal), Career Readiness events (12% goal), and Healthcare Industry-Recognized Credentials (60 kids). We're still calculating but, through LifeSaving Heroes, Young Heroes, and other sources, 72 kids were CPR/First Aid/AED/Healthcare certified in 24-25! We met our goal! We're off to a great start for 25-26 engagement: 136 Learners attended our first Work-Ready Wednesday and 303 attended our Capital Campus Career Expo!
