Career Planning
High school provides the opportunity to plan and prepare for the future. Career planning is one part of that process Each year students have the chance toparticipate in career preparation activities, Career Pathway assessments, and to update their Educational Development Plan (EDP) An EDP is a written description that identifies student career goals, interests, and skills while documenting the experiences, education and accomplishments they have had and want to pursue.

Because many careers share similar characteristics, the State of Michigan has grouped all career options into one of six Career Pathways. Those six careerpathways are:

Arts and Communications – careers related to the humanities, the performing,visual, literary and media arts.

Business, Management, Marketing and Technology – careers related to allaspects of business including accounting, business administration, finance,information processing and marketing.

Engineering/Manufacturing and Industrial Technology – careers related to technologies necessary to design, develop, install, or maintain physical systems.

Health Sciences – careers related to the promotion of health, as well as thetreatment of injuries, conditions, and disease.

Human Services – careers in child care, civil service, education, hospitality,and the social services.

Natural Resources and Agriscience – careers related to the environment andnatural resources.

Each department has included a Career Pathway chart in this curriculum guide. The Career Pathway chart suggests department course offerings that would be helpful for students anticipating a particular pathway direction.

These clusters of courses are designed to offer students 12 college credits that can possibly transfer to their college of choice and to provide rigorous college courses in areas of a student’s interest. Most of the cost of these college courses is covered by the local school district. Students must travel to Hartland School District for their session of courses. Monday through Friday all year long.
Students must:
- Be in good academic and attendance standing, with overall GPA of 3 0+

BHS is only guaranteed limited seats in these programs. Therefore, the students allowed to attend these programs may be selected based on thei racademic transcript or college or career path. Juniors may apply but will receive consideration only if open seats remain after the selection process.

High school students may enroll in a public or private post-secondary degree granting institution if the following conditions are met:

1. A student must be enrolled in both the district and the post-secondary institution during the local school district’s regular academic year.

2. The college courses cannot be hobby or “activity courses."
