Your Future Career Tracks
Upon enrolling at Empowering Excellence Charter School, students are required to choose a career major from a variety of certificate options including Childcare and Education (CDA), Commercial Driving, Office Management, Homeland Security, Certified Protection Officer, Professional Skills, Retail and Customer Service, or Food and Hospitality. All elective courses will be tailored to the student’s chosen major. Upon completing all necessary credits, students will receive a career certificate in their selected major along with their high school diploma. Students will make this important decision when they first log into the student portal.
INDIVIDUALIZED CAREER PLAN
After reviewing a student’s high school records and selecting their desired career path, they will be provided with a personalized plan known as an Individualized Career Plan (ICP). This document will outline the specific courses required for the student to earn both their high school diploma and a certificate in their chosen field. To help the students stay on track and complete their coursework on time, an Academic Coach will assist in developing pacing schedules.
