CTSOs allow students with similar career interests to connect, practice professional skills, work on service projects, take field trips, and compete against other local, state, and national schools. In addition, teams from various schools compete against one another several times a year through competitions sponsored by one or more clubs.
Destinations Career Academy of Colorado offers the following CTSOs:
