Professional Development for 21st Century Success


Course Description
This course curriculum is an abbreviated version, one semester, of the ICE Work Program year-long curriculum. Many students enter senior year of high school not knowing which career field they would like to pursue after graduation. Professional Development for 21st Century Success is a program designed to prepare students for their career success. Experience gained through interviews, employment, job shadows, volunteer service, and meaningful fieldtrips are related to animated classroom discussions, projects, and presentations. The overall objective of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to acquire marketable skills and knowledge for their future career path.
