Career-Readiness

All students at the MAP school must have a job or volunteer position within six weeks of enrolling. Because of this requirement, it is especially important for us to have an effective career readiness program.

Starting in 2016-17 the MAP school is adopting the AKCIS Career Readiness Curriculum. This class will be part of the introductory CTE English class required of all students.

As part of these courses we are endeavoring to connect students to funding sources and additional educational opportunities.
