Orientation FAQs:
Q: How long will Orientation last?
A: Each session lasts approximately one hour.
Q: What if I'm late?
A: The doors close at the scheduled start time. If you are late, we will ask you to attend another session.
Q: Do I need to register to attend?
A: No, Orientations are held on a walk-in basis but please show up 10 to 15 minutes early to sign-in and pick up an information packet.
Q: How long does the whole application process last?
A: After you attend an orientation it will take an additional 6 to 12 weeks to complete the process. In most cases the applicant will be ready to enroll the following semester. Visit the application process page for more information.
Q: I want to go into a healthcare field, can I apply this round?
A: Williamson County applicants may apply for any sponsored career. In Travis County we are only accepting healthcare applicants who have never been to college before. We do not have any open seats at the college level for healthcare careers. We do have open seats in College Prep. If you have not been to college before, you should attend an Orienation and apply to start in College Prep, after which you will be able to continue with a healthcare career. (Because of the popularity of heathcare careers, we do not anticipate being able to accept college level applicants any time soon. Should this change we will update our website immediately.)
Q: When will Capital IDEA recruit from other counties?
A: In August 2010 Capital IDEA will only be recruiting from Travis and Williamson Counties. To all of you who have been calling and emailing to find out when orientations will open up to other counties - we'd like to say that we share your disappointment and wish we could give you better news. Unfortunately, we will not be able to recruit from other counties for the remainder of 2010. Please check back with us in December 2010 to see if we will be recruiting from your county for 2011.
Q: If I'm in Williamson or Burnet County, is there somewhere else I can go?
