According to DESE website the Individual Career & Academic Plan (ICAP), is a plan of study to guide students through the coursework and activities for achieving personal career goals, post-secondary planning, and providing individual pathway options. An ICAP is a multi-year process, beginning no later than the eighth grade, that intentionally guides students and families in the exploration of career, academic, and multiple post-secondary opportunities to include *direct access to the workforce *military *tech school/area career center *vocational training (apprenticeship), *2 year college and *4 year college. An ICAP is a “roadmap” to help students develop the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and skills to create meaningful pathways to be success-ready graduates.
Starting the 2025-2026 School year, we will make the transition to Infinite Campus to track a student's ICAP using the course plan. The videos below will be updated as soon as possible.
