Workforce Development
At Liguori Academy, postsecondary planning begins in ninth grade as students explore their interests, values, and strengths to build a vision for their future. As students move through the program and discover various pathways, their goals become clearer and more defined.
Through the resources and opportunities available at Liguori Academy, students can personalize their path towards their passions. All students gain experience with Workforce Curriculum, Career Cohorts, Industry Recognized Credentials, the LIFT Committee, Guest Speakers, Platforms, Fairs, Worksite Visits, and many other universal components.They learn through curriculum and real hands on experience to set and achieve goals that help advance them on their postsecondary path.
9th Grade
Students complete assessments in a proprietary postsecondary software program to understand their motivators, values, and current skills and strengths. Students complete workshops that focus on building their soft skills while exploring various postsecondary pathways available.
10th Grade
The students dig deeper into their postsecondary exploration and build on their established foundation. They learn and understand the pathways available to them after graduation: college, career in an in-demand field as defined by the Department of Labor (DOL), military, or trade school.
11th Grade
Students solidify their plan and begin internships in related fields. Each student will also complete a postsecondary presentation. In these presentations, students share which of the four postsecondary pathways they plan to pursue and what steps they will take in the upcoming years to help them navigate and achieve success in this pathway.
12th Grade
Students complete the final steps for their postsecondary plan to ensure their successful trajectory into their chosen path. They complete an off-site internship in their chosen field and share their final postsecondary presentations.
Through the completion of cohort classes, internships, mentor programs, shadow days, and industry certifications, students are Liguori Ready upon their graduation.
