Wall-of-Fame Program
In the fall of 2014, the Capital Area Career Center (now the Wilson Talent Center) established a Wall-of-Fame program to recognize the accomplishments of our past graduates. Many of our former students have gone on to some incredible careers as business owners, doctors or nurses, sales managers, salon owners and training coordinators just to name a few. We feel it is important for our students to see their accomplishments and how their time at the Center played a role in their career path.
