ACAP-Ohio

The Accounting Careers Awareness Program (ACAP-Ohio) is an innovative career development program designed specifically for minority high school students. During the week-long campus residency program, a select group of students will have the opportunity to explore careers in accounting and business.

Student Ambassador Program

Student Ambassadors create windows of opportunity for CPAs to talk to students. They also leverage the power and influence of peer-to-peer interaction among students who are majoring in accounting and those who aren’t. This program is making significant strides in correcting misconceptions and is capturing the minds of students about what the future can hold if they become a CPA.

ASPIRE!

A new initiative of The Ohio CPA Foundation, ASPIRE! Diversity in Accounting program, is designed specifically for minority students attending community colleges and two-year institutions who are interested in careers in accounting and business. Students meet local CPAs, accounting professionals and faculty to learn about career opportunities and what it takes to become a CPA. Students also find out how their associates degree can be the springboard to the next level of their education.
