Whether your student is interested in something in manufacturing, skilled trades, entrepreneurship or traditional higher education, we know that his or her current plan or path might not align with their goals.
It's not unusual for an employer or other training and education providers to require completion of coursework, a type of diploma, certain tests, or some other hurdle in high school. Our partners have made and pulled together some resources that help explain the credentials required for specific paths, as well as resources designed to help your student get on track to achieve the secondary credentials required to take their next step to a CAREER. |
These are from the ASK Curriculum, which uses Indiana Career Explorer to help figure out if you're student is on track for training, education or a job.
