Montgomery County Career Advisory Program (MoCo CAP)

At WMHS, we are proud to partner with the Montgomery County Career Advising Program (MoCo CAP) to empower students in planning their futures. Through this initiative, we encourage students to engage in early career conversations, helping them explore their interests, identify opportunities, and gain a clearer understanding of the steps they need to take to achieve their goals. These conversations are vital in building confidence and setting a foundation for success beyond high school. Together, we aim to guide students toward informed decisions and meaningful career pathways. Please email Diana Silva for more information or questions regarding this program.
