Career Connect Campus

The KRESA Career Connect Campus (CCC) is Kalamazoo County’s world-class, centralized home for countywide Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. Opened to an inaugural class of high school students in 2025, the CCC features classes that cultivate in-demand technical skills as validated by labor market data, aligned to industry-recognized credentials. The CCC is a hybrid space, blending the best of a state-of-the-art high school learning environment with the technology, equipment, and many standards that mimic the world of work. The building’s centralized location resolves longstanding transportation barriers for students from across the County, allowing it to serve as a centralized hub and support cross-collaboration amongst pathways, giving young people many opportunities to learn in their chosen areas of study while gaining exposure to a wide range of careers and career pathways.
