CIVICA Academy in Colorado will provide several self-contained career exploration academies. In their College and Career Academies, students can graduate with industry certificates that enable them to enter the workforce and the many high paying jobs in the area. Starting in middle school, students will take a Career Exploration survey course and decide which pathway best suits their interests and goals. They will spend their high school years learning about their chosen industry or profession and acquiring skills and certifications that will enhance their candidacy for college or a career path after graduation.
