Having a Career Goal and Plan makes a HUGE difference in PS success!

Preliminary findings showed desired learning outcomes were the best predictors of student success. Students whose desire was to “Explore courses to decide career,” had the lowest graduation rate, 21%.

This compares to a graduation rate for students who intend to, “Prepare to change careers,” of 78%.

- Rossol & Byers, Johnson County Community College, NE

Clearly, having a career goal and plan that a student is acting upon makes a big difference

The intent of this provision in the legislation is to ultimately decrease dropout rates and increase graduation rates by assisting students in developing and maintaining a personalized postsecondary plan that ensures readiness for postsecondary and workforce success.

• An ICAP shall be designed to assist a student and his or her parent or legal guardian in exploring the postsecondary career and educational opportunities available to the student, aligning course work and curriculum, applying to postsecondary education entering the workforce .
