Last October the sophomore class took the PLAN pre-ACT test. The test included some career interest questions. I looked through the results and compiled them to give us an idea of what kinds of classes the school will need to provide to help prepare students for life after high school.
The Nebraska Career Education model separates careers into 6 career fields. These fields are then broken down into career clusters. Here are the PLAN results:
Human Services Field
Education – 4 students
Law and Public Safety- 3 students
Human (Community) Services- 2 students
Business Field
Marketing- 1 student
Management- 1 student
Agriculture Field- 1 student
Information and Communication Field
Arts, technology and Communication- 1 student
Industrial/Manufacturing/Engineering Field
Transportation- 1 student
Science, Technology, and Engineering- 1 student
Manufacturing – 1 student
Health Science Field- 8 students
Undecided- 5 students
Employment- 1 student
From these results, it looks like the decision to start offering Health Science classes was the right decision for this group of students.
