Academic & Career Planning
Academic and Career Planning (ACP) helps students create their own path to post-secondary success through self-discovery, career exploration, and goal setting. Each student receives personalized support from school staff to build and update their academic and career plan each year.
Students and staff in grades 6–12 use Xello, an online planning tool, to explore interests and careers. Parents can view their child’s Xello portfolio—just ask your child to share it or contact their school counselor or principal for access.
With support from counselors, teachers, and community partners—and through tools like Xello and INSPIRE Sheboygan County—students learn to Know, Explore, Plan, and Go!
Regional Career Pathway Maps
What are the Benefits of Regional Career Pathways?
-
For high school students, regional career pathways align education and training with the needs of the local job market, provide a range of postsecondary options, result in a high school diploma with at least one industry-recognized credential, and help students enter or advance within an occupation.
-
For schools, career pathways provide a specific ACP plan for occupations that are in demand in Wisconsin. This allows schools to focus on student and curriculum activities, with input and support from regional employers and higher education institutions.
-
For employers, regional career pathways enable them to partner with more schools. This allows employers to shape the future talent pipeline, foster young talent, and highlight local career opportunities across an entire region.
Access For All Students
If a student has a disability, the student’s academic and career plan shall be made available to the student’s individual education program team. The student’s individualized education program team may, if appropriate, consider the student’s academic and career plan when developing the student’s transition services.
