Graduating students will indicate their desired pathway with the following codes in the “Graduating Students” Discipline:
ZAPPRE - Apprenticeship
ZCOLLG - College
ZUNIVR - University
ZWORK - Work
Students planning for the future will find it helpful to:
Forwards Plan - think of what courses you want to take and where this can lead you
Backwards Plan - explore careers you are interested in, then reverse plan what university/college/apprenticeship pathway will get you to that career, and then reverse plan what high school courses you will need to get there.
A useful guide is here: Forward and Backwards Planning Guide
Step 4: Populate your High School Plan to be ready for course selection.
Discuss your plan and where it will take you with your parent(s)/guardian(s) or any mentor you would like to consult.
Be sure to include alternates that you would actually be willing to take.
