ICAP, also known as the Individual Career Academic Plan has recently become a graduation requirement for Oklahoma students starting in the 2023 school year. During advisory, using SchooLinks, students in their junior year and below, complete various assessments among other things to get a step closer to completing the program. Although the state requires participation in ICAP, not everyone is adamant about partaking in it. “ICAP isn’t useful for me and it just seems like a waste of time since I’m not personally benefiting from any of the resources on there that we are supposed to complete,” sophomore, Savannah West-Jepson said, “and I feel like at least for me the career, along with the other assessments required don’t help me and don’t really provide a result in a career field that I’m actually interested in going into.” With ICAP, part of the problem is that students have to go out of their way to complete something they might not even want to, just so they can graduate. ICAP does have some great resources available, but the obligation of students to complete unnecessary assignments just so they can graduate takes the wrong approach to encourage students to start looking into their futures and all the options they have.
