CAREER PLANNING
Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP)
An Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) is a roadmap which includes the
development of a flexible career focus and an education plan that is clearly-defined,
rigorous, and relevant to ensure a successful and efficient transition to postsecondary
education and/or the world of work.
An ICAP is a student's scope and sequence of coursework and related activities based
upon their chose Career Path or Career Cluster. The foundation of the ICAP is the
school-approved program of study for the student's Career Cluster. It is a roadmap that
includes graduation requirements, approved coursework for the student's educational
and career goals, and developmentally-appropriate, work-based learning experiences. An
ICAP is developed cooperatively with the student and the student's counselor, teachers,
and family members. Counselors work with students to review and revise the plan each
school year.
Parents can contact the grade level counselor for a copy of their student’s plan.
