Individual Career and Academic Plans
What is an ICAP?
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 their own meaningful pathways to be success-ready graduates. Additional Information about the ICAP can be found on DESE's website.
