ICAP 

Ensuring that students are successful after high school involves a combination of academic preparation, personal development, and aligning their skills with their passions and future career opportunities.  As a graduation requirement from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, all students will complete an ICAP, or Individual Career Academic Plan by accessing https://www.okcollegestart.org/. The ICAP program will give students a personalized roadmap to use when navigating college or career plans after high school.  The ICAP includes the following components:  academic/career planning, goal setting, college and career-ready assessments, and work-based learning.  

A student’s Individual Career Academic Plan will include the following activities: 

• Students will complete an online career assessment each year to explore their career interests, learn career skills, and begin connecting their interests to career fields.

• Students will update their career and postsecondary goals each year as they learn about new opportunities.  This process will include completing a Four-Year Academic Plan that reflects their post-secondary plans, including specific career fields.

• Students will complete required state and federal assessments including College and Career Readiness Assessments (ACT).

• Students will annually update their academic courses and progress in those courses. 

• Students will also list any career technology programs or dual credit courses that reflect progress toward their individual career pathways. 

• Students will complete, at minimum, one service learning or work environment activity, which may include participation in job shadowing and internships, before graduation.
