Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is a student-driven, adult-supported process in which all students create and cultivate their own unique and information-based visions for post secondary success, obtained through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills.

More information regarding ACP can be found here: http://dpi.wi.gov/acp

Through this account, students will research career options, interests and skills inventory as well as various assessments in Career Cruising. All students in grades 6-12 will have an individual account. The site provides guidance in exploring, planning, and implementing a plan to navigate through a variety career options as well as middle and high school course options.

Academic and career planning is an ongoing process throughout the middle school and high school years and will be continually evolving. Student interests, experiences, clubs, activities, organizations, and ideas will guide them through their career planning.
