What is Career & College Readiness?

College and Career Readiness (CCR) at Valencia High School involves every student. CCR is an overall emphasis on developing those work place skills that will enable our students to be better qualified to compete for a career of their choosing in the future.

Over half of today's workforce reports being unhappy with their job, feeling it is not a good match for their skills and abilities. 95% of jobs in the future will require some type of education beyond a high-school diploma.

CCR allow students to discover their talents, skills, and abilities so that they may chart an appropriate course towards career choices. This will also help produce a more informed, satisfied, and productive workforce.

What are Career Pathways?

Career Pathways are similar to majoring in college, except that you may start your learning experience in middle or high school.

Every student, no matter what their post-secondary plans are, can benefit by selecting and following a sequence of career related classes designed for their area of interest.

    • A Pathway is a sequence of courses within your area of interest.

    • A Pathway will connect your career interests from high school to college and/or career.

    • A Pathway is your educational road map guiding you to the high school courses and post-secondary options most relevant to your chosen career destination.

    • A Pathway will help you acquire the depth of knowledge and skill linked with specific post-secondary programs that will lead to a certificate or degree and/or career.

Some pathways are completed by taking courses during the day at Valencia as part of a student's regular schedule. Other pathways are completed by taking courses in our extended day program. These extended day courses meet afterschool at various locations in our district.
