Our History
CAPS was founded over fifty years ago to provide UNO’s graduate students field experience in various areas of Psychology. In the beginning, CAPS was intended for School Psychology students but has since gained momentum through the emerging field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
The first project started with Yonkers® in Omaha, NE, and has grown to include services for the City of Council Bluffs Police Department, a local DJ company, and both City of Lincoln Police and Fire Departments.

Alumni Testimonials
Nadine Maliakkal
Through CAPS, I gained valuable experience applying IO Psychology theory and research into practice to meet various clients' unique needs.
Salvatore Leone
It’s extremely common for I-O psychology students to leave their graduate program with a wealth of knowledge and skills, but very little applied or practical experiences to showcase those proficiencies. I have seen many talented and passionate candidates get overlooked during job selection in favor of applicants who can leverage their past roles, projects, or client experiences to tell very compelling personal stories during job interviews. That’s why I am so thankful that the CAPS faculty offer a pathway for UNO I-O students to engage with the community while developing key professional skills, growing professional networks, and translating I-O concepts into tangible impact for organizations and leaders. Thank you, CAPS!

Working for CAPS gave me exposure to organizations across different industries and allowed me to learn where I fit best. It was a great opportunity to apply what I was learning and get experience balancing the rigor of the process and meeting the practical requirements of the workplace. CAPS brought another dimension to learning the science and practice of I/O psychology.
