Glencoe College & Career Pathway Program
(formerly Focused Program)
What is a Career & College Pathway (CCP) Program?
High school is an important part of a student’s preparation for life, a time of transitions to post-secondary education, careers, and adult responsibilities. At Glencoe High School, Focused Programs of Study can help students to clarify their college and career goals and to select courses that match their goals. Exploratory level courses introduce basic concepts. Foundation classes provide a fundamental understanding of each area of study. Advanced Application courses provide an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge and pursue their individual interests.
Why enroll in a Career & College Pathway Program?
In a CCP Program, each student:
- Pursues personal, academic, and career interests;
- Establishes post-high school goals;
- Is actively engaged in educational planning and takes responsibility for learning;
- Applies high-level academic and career-related knowledge and skills in relevant and meaningful learning experiences; and has support from school, parents, and the community.
How will I earn a Career & College Pathway Program cord at graduation?
- Pass required foundation and advanced application courses with a “C” or better.
- Complete program specific requirements which may include service learning and/or an internship.
- Complete a Senior Project/Portfolio as required in your Focused Program of Study.
Internship:
Internships are not required for the 0.5 Career credit but are required for College & Career Pathway (CCP) Programs. We encourage students to take advantage of any internship experiences so that they may explore career options at the work-site. Internship placements can be found independently, through the Career/College Counselor (Jennifer Fields) or via the CCP teachers.
