About the Program
Outstanding Academics & Essential Career Skills
PINACLES is a professional and career development program that enables individuals to strengthen their talents, knowledge, and skills. A strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific activity. Talents are naturally recurring patterns of behavior that can be productively applied. Time spent developing your talents, knowledge, and skills creates your strengths. Kelm Academy provides practical skills for a seamless transition into the workforce, while ensuring participants develop a strong sense of personal goals to navigate their future responsibly.
