All ninth graders enter a pre-college curriculum and develop a career plan. In tenth grade, students declare their career major and begin an in-depth study of the magnet area. Sophomores shadow a worker in their chosen field for five hours per semester, for a total of ten hours per school year. Each student participates in enrichment field trips, personal development training, and career development and educational training. Students keep logs of their experiences.
Juniors study one hour per day in their chosen magnet area.
Site visits, hands-on training, professional contacts, and personal development training continue throughout the school year. Students continue to keep logs of their experiences. Seniors study two hours per day in their chosen magnet field. This co-op is both for pay and academic credit. Students continue to work on a monthly basis with their mentor, and prepare their career magnet portfolio to use on work and college interviews.
