EXCEL & EXCEL JR. TOURS

EXCEL PROGRAM

Exploring Career Education Locally (EXCEL) tours launched in the spring of 2017 as a way to connect local high school students with businesses in Keith County.  Based on its initial success and thanks to a grant from the Keith County Foundation Fund (KCFF), Jr. EXCEL tours were added in 2019 to expand the program to area middle school students. This career exposure will assist students in choosing a post-secondary education path and increase the likelihood of them returning to Keith County.

The partnership between KCAD, KCFF, Mid Plains Community College, and the local schools has produced seven tours to date. Students gain exposure to  a vast array of locally available careers, including: banking, auto body repair, sheet metal heating, healthcare, radio broadcasting, fiber communications, agricultural technology, radio and audio technology, law enforcement, physical therapy and sports medicine, chiropractics, utility and power, and construction management.
