Career Planning
Understanding the importance of vocational training for our students, career planning is incorporated into our curriculum. Students utilize the Career Information System to complete a career plan.
The Academy at Sisters has established the following "school to work" goals:
- To assist our students in making good and realistic career decisions.
- To provide relevant work-based and classroom learning experiences that will connect school and work activities.
- To assist our students in becoming aware of their own strengths and weaknesses.
- To meet the individual needs of each student.
