Kevin Dobson, founder of Capital College and Career Academy, built a public charter high school where students earn college credits, gain career skills, and land paid internships all before graduation.
In California, only about 30% of 9th graders ever earn a college degree. Kevin saw that number and built something better. In this conversation, he breaks down the broken promises of traditional education, what genuine personalized learning looks like in practice, and how CCCA gives Sacramento students a real path forward. Whether they're headed to a four-year university, a trade, or straight into the workforce.
What we cover:
- Why only 1 in 3 California students ever earns a college degree
- CCCA's dual college and career pathway and why students don't have to choose one or the other
- The 3 skills business leaders say young people actually need today (it's not on any state curriculum)
- How AI is reshaping the workforce and what schools must start teaching right now
- How Kevin turned a vacant North Sacramento city block into a thriving education hub
- Why Kevin hires for heart over credentials every single time
