Academic & Career Planning (ACP)
What is ACP?
ACP is a student-driven, adult-supported process where students build an information-based vision for post-secondary success through self-exploration, career exploration, and career management & planning skills.
Why ACP?
We want graduates ready to meet opportunities and challenges with confidence—prepared for careers or post-secondary study, and equipped to adapt their plans as they grow.
