The College and Career Academy at Pruden (CCAP), located in Suffolk, Virginia, serves as a specialized vocational and technical educational hub for students within the Suffolk Public Schools division.

The facility functions as a collaborative environment where students from the district’s various high schools come together to engage in project-based learning and career exploration. Through its commitment to professional development and technical proficiency, the academy plays a vital role in strengthening the local economy by equipping Suffolk’s youth with the practical tools and leadership experience necessary for long-term career success.
