LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Career Academy offers high school students a chance to get closer to their future career goals.

For those pursuing a career in early childcare, the academy has launched a new program to prepare them to earn a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification.

The new CDA program is among the first of its kind in the nation, offering courses that earn micro-credentials through practical lessons both in and out of the classroom.

Lincoln Littles, an organization dedicated to improving early childhood education and daycares throughout Lincoln, is supporting the initiative by helping develop both in- and out-of-classroom courses.

A celebration was held Tuesday night at Southeast Community College to celebrate the end of the program’s first semester.
