Find Your Future in PSD! In Poudre School District, we want every student to graduate from high school with options. Students feel empowered knowing they have choices in high school that lead to meaningful options after graduation, whether 2-year college, 4-year college, apprenticeship, workforce, or military.
Picture
High school students gain workforce readiness skills by participating in career tours, internships, apprenticeships, capstone projects, or paid part-time work experiences. Students that take 2 or more courses in a career pathway can earn 1 elective credit for every 15 hours they participate and meet the capstone requirement for graduation.
Picture
Poudre School District Students Are Becoming Future Ready! Xello is the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) tool used in PSD to help 6th-12th grade students explore careers and colleges in a meaningful, personalized way. High school students can also connect with local businesses for work-based learning opportunities to build workplace readiness skills.
