PV First Choice Career Center - FIRST CHOICE PLAN

What is a "First Choice?"

Here at PV, Each Learner Counts! Our goal is for every learner to graduate with a Diploma Plus. That means that in addition to graduating with a diploma, each learner will have an additional certification, work-based learning opportunity, and/or college credit related to their first choice in career.

Career Plan –In accordance with the Career and Work State Standards, a career plan is a “document or similar item developed by the student that identifies a series of educational studies and experiences to prepare them for post-secondary education or work, or both, in a selected career cluster or area.”

While serving as a plan, this form will also be a place to store what you do along the way to help you tell your First Choice Story allowing for recognition, celebration, and support.

The Point:

The purpose is to provide you with career exposure that will allow you to efficiently plan for your future!

This is all about exploration, exposure, and opportunity. By choosing a First Choice Focus you are not limiting yourself to that field (You may change your first choice at any time). On the contrary, you are gaining life expereince, networking, and building your resume to give you a competitive edge in your future career path.

To plan for graduation, you will choose a graduation pathway option below and make a plan to participate in a Work-Based Learning Opportunity (WBL) and/or to earn an Industry Recognized Credential (IRC).

Work-Based Learning Opportunities (WBL) are activities designed to give you exposure to careers of your choice in actual work place settings from professionals that have experience in your First Choice Career.

Industry Recognized Credentials (ICN) are certifications that you will earn as you complete specialized training in a specific skill related to your First Choice Career.
