Enter Academic and Career Plan Information

If your district and school have set up Academic and Career Plan, you can manage Academic and Career Plan programs at the student level. Academic and Career Plan is focused on developing the skills of K-12 students preparing them for postsecondary learning and workforce opportunities. Academic and Career Plan courses encourage students to explore and prepare for careers in agriculture, criminal justice, health science, hospitality, and more. Programs of study are organized by career clusters, which include distinct groupings of occupations and industries based on the knowledge and skills they require. Students enrolled in a program where career and technical skill proficiencies are aligned with industry-recognized standards can work towards industry credentials. The credential provides proof that the student possesses the minimum skills required for entry-level employment. The following is an example of Academic and Career Plan data:
