This sample implementation plan for Georgia is designed to ensure
all students complete a career development plan and participate in
WBL opportunities throughout their PK-12 education path according to
the Student Milestones for College and Career Readiness.
Throughout PK-12th grade: Use Requested sessions (WBL) and
Career to develop career awareness and interest. Use Lessons to
develop student skills and knowledge.
PK-5 grade (Pathful Jr.)
Complete the various career cluster lessons designated for K-5th grade to
begin building awareness of careers, rules, expectations and responsibilities
while reinforcing key concepts from core subjects.
Schedule sessions with industry pros to give students an inside look into
different careers and prompt conversations on their interests.
Have students take the Career Cluster Interest Survey to help determine their
career interests and build a foundation for future learning.
6th grade
Complete an Interest Assessment (for deeper insight students can also take
the Personality and Work Values Assessments).
Use the Career and WBL sections of the platform to begin exploring careers
that interest them.
7th grade
Building on the Interest Assessment results from 6th grade, students begin to
explore specific careers and industries in greater detail. This includes learning
about the education and skills required for different occupations, as well as
their roles in the economy.
8th grade
By the end of 8th grade, students are required to select at least one Career
Pathway of interest. Students can use their knowledge from 6th and 7th grade,
as well as a new Interest Assessment and Career explorer to help with this.
Students must develop an Individual Graduation Plan (or IGP, this is a key
milestone of the BRIDGE Act), a multi-year plan that outlines the courses they
will take in high school based on their career interests. The Postsecondary
Plan, Goal Setting Tools and Pathful Planner can support this process.
Use Employability videos to help build skills and knowledge that will support
students as they prepare to transition to high school (suggestions include
Career Cluster, Diversity & Inclusion, Extracurriculars, First Jobs, Other Ways to
Learn, Overcoming Obstacles, Skills for Academic Success, Social Emotional
Skills, Soft Skills, and When Would I Use This).
9th grade
Continue to update IGP to reflect any changes in student career interests and
academic goals
Use Pathful Planner to make sure coursework aligns with students’ chosen
career pathway.

pathway and to develop necessary skill development.

understand their career interests and how their academic success is

postsecondary opportunities such as advanced placement, dual enrollment
