Our students experience in-depth career immersion beginning with the freshman exploratory experience which assists students in identifying a career pathway and program of study based upon self-assessment, career exploration, and the application of learned career decision making skills. Students capture these experiences, record their reflections, and converse with other stakeholders about next steps in their plan. The record of this information is called the student’s Career Plan.
