Individualized Career & Academic Plan (ICAP)
Each student in Jeffco Public Schools will have an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) mapping out a student's progress toward completing high school successfully and making meaningful career decisions. Creating this plan is a partnership between the student, parents and school staff. Questions regarding this process can be directed to your student's counselor. To complete this plan, our school utilizes the tool Naviance. You and your student can go to the Naviance website and log on to view the plan.
Individualized Career & Academic Plan (ICAP) in Jeffco
The Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) is a multi-year process that intentionally guides students and families in the exploration of career, academic and college opportunities. With the support of adults, students develop the awareness, knowledge, attitudes and skills to create their own meaningful and powerful pathways to be career and college-ready.
When students complete a meaningful ICAP process, they:
- Connect the relevance of education to future aspirations.
- Are more motivated to attend school and stay engaged.
- Become confident learners who can actively set goals.
- Make secondary and postsecondary course plans to pursue career and life goals.
- Are able to articulate their transferable skills and apply knowledge about how their actions today connect with their goals.
