Beginning in high school and continuing at Dunwoody, YCAP offers mentorship, supplemental academic support, and financial assistance that lead to a path of fulfilling and well-paid careers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe face of the Twin Cities is changing\u2014we are quickly becoming a much more diverse community. Yet many of our students of color and young women still do not consider a technical career when planning for their future,\u201d said Vice President of Enrollment Management Collette Garrity. \u201cTo maintain our region\u2019s robust economy, it is important that all of our young people have the opportunity to pursue an education at a great college that will lead to a great career with a great salary. The Donaldson Foundation grant will make it possible for us to create a YCAP 2.0 that will better speak to the needs and dreams of Twin Cities youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The redesign will respond to both the demographic changes and changing employment needs of the region. YCAP 2.0 will have new leadership and other programmatic changes resulting in a stronger, more effective and collaborative program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Donaldson Foundation is excited to support the Dunwoody YCAP program, because we believe in its value and sustainability. It supports education within and around underrepresented communities in which our employees work and live. This aligns well with the mission of our Foundation and we are grateful for the opportunity to help,\u201d said Donaldson Foundation Director Mike Dwyer.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Dunwoody\u2019s YCAP program, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/ycap\/\">http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/ycap\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Donaldson Foundation, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donaldson.com\/en\/about\/community\/foundation.html\">https:\/\/www.donaldson.com\/en\/about\/community\/foundation.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donaldson Company, Inc.\u2019s generous $25,000 grant to Dunwoody College of Technology\u2019s Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) will aid the College in redesigning the program to increase the number of diverse students earning an associate\u2019s degree at Dunwoody in pursuit of a technical career.
