Capital IDEA’s mission is to lift working adults out of poverty and into living-wage careers through education and career advancement.
We envision a thriving Central Texas where non-traditional students have the opportunity to get an education, enter a skilled occupation, earn a living wage, and reach their full potential.
Our innovative programs help income-eligible Central Texas adults earn a degree and move up in a great career. The Career Expressway is a guided route in fields like healthcare, information technology (IT), and other growing industries. Support on the Expressway consists in funding for school & books, a Navigator, and career placement services, and our outreach team is available for presentations to students and families!
