Four-Year Plan

All students establish a Four-Year Plan, select one of six Career Pathways, and explore career options. The pathways include: Health Services, Arts and Communications, Industrial and Engineering, Human Resources, Natural Resources, and Business and Management. An interest inventory is taken by all students via Career Finder software.
