Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAP) 

Mapleton students will begin building an individual career and academic plan that prepares them for post-secondary and workforce success. The ICAP is designed to assist students and families in exploring post-secondary career and educational opportunities, to develop academic goals to align with career and educational plans, while also helping students understand how volunteering in the community can assist in post-secondary preparation and opportunities for entering the workforce.

Tools students are encouraged to utilize when exploring career interests for ICAP projects are: 

College in Colorado - www.collegeincolorado.org 

Occupational Outlook Handbook - https://www.bls.gov/ooh/

Both of these resources, College in Colorado and the Occupation Outlook Handbook, offer details about:

• what specific careers do
• what the typical work environment is like
• how students can have a career in this field
• what people who work in this chosen career earn
• and how many jobs are expected in this career field in the future
