Senior students in our Health Occupations program who are enrolled in Bridge Academy recently have a wonderful opportunity to explore their future career and college options through ICAPs (Individual Career and Academic Plans) and WOWI (World of Work Inventory) career assessments.

With guidance from Bridge Academy Coordinator, Corrie Hunkler, and the Health Occupations Instructor, Stacey Balicki, students work through these assessments to learn more about their individual interests, strengths, and potential career pathways. They then explored programs and careers that interested them, taking the next step by researching college programs, admission requirements, program curriculum, and other important information to help them plan for their future.

What is Bridge Academy?

Bridge Academy provides students with an opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school, helping to create a bridge between high school and post-secondary education. The program gives students a chance to explore college and career pathways, build confidence, and begin preparing for their goals beyond high school.

For our Health Occupations students, this is an especially valuable opportunity. They are not only learning about careers in healthcare through their CTE coursework, but they are also gaining the tools and information needed to make informed decisions about college programs and their future careers.

We are so fortunate to have Bridge Academy available to our students and our school! Opportunities like this help students connect what they are learning today with the possibilities that await them tomorrow.

We love seeing our students explore, plan, and begin building their futures!
