6-Year Individual Career Plans (ICP)

The Individual Career Plan (ICP) was developed as a tool for conversation between the local school teacher-as-advisor/counselor, parent/guardian and 8th grade student. GDOE recommends that students and parents/guardians participate in an advisement session in the spring of the 8th grade year to discuss a plan that will take the student beyond high school graduation to postsecondary plans that link to a career focus.  GDOE recommends that schools print these plans for a visual aid in the conversation with parents/guardians. These plans were developed with several outcomes in mind:

• Students/parents will see that high school should begin with an end in mind--a career goal.
• Students/parents will see the expectation of postsecondary education.
• Students/parents will see the number of units and classes required to reach the chosen career goal.
• Students/parents will see the connection between school and work.
• Student/parents will see the possibilities that Tech Prep can offer.
• Students/parents will see recommended classes for a specific instructional area.
• Students/parents will see a dual diploma track that will allow students to pursue postsecondary education at any level and will require students to perform at the highest possible level of achievement.
