Welcome to the College and Career Access Center 

You are visiting our page because you are seeking resources to engage in one of the most important decisions you will make; the pathway to your future career. We are glad you made it this far and are eager to join in your quest to achieve your goals. We are confident that both you and our community will be better for it.

Please take a look at our website to see how the College & Career Access Center is serving the Jackson community in its pursuit of educational attainment for all students. A great place to start is with our Student/Parent Resource Tool Kit. From there, you will be linked to all our services and resources. Also, be sure to check out our early awareness initiatives: Kids2College/Pathways to Professional Skilled Trades and Juniors Over the Local Circuit. The CCAC also works diligently throughout the summer with strategic outreach to those students who are at the greatest risk of ‘Summer Melt.’

In short, the CCAC is an exciting place, with a great team of dedicated professionals ready to serve you in your college and career plans. We look forward to seeing you as we work together towards your goals!
