College and Career Awareness offers exploration and preparation in college and career pathways
focusing on jobs that are high skill and high demand, as well as satisfying and financially rewarding.
The course is designed to help students identify their interests, abilities, and skills so that
students are able to begin to make college and career goals for the future. College and Career
Awareness is designed to acquaint students with the Utah labor market and the employment
opportunities for which they can prepare by defining a College and Career Ready Plan.
Through application-based lessons, College and Career Awareness allow students to utilize
technology, develop foundational skills, and explore careers.

Content: Each CCA section is uniquely designed to provide students with hands-on experiences geared toward
career exploration. (A comprehensive list of required topics and core curriculum may be found on the

I give permission for my child to use the equipment, computers, and internet located in the College and Career
Awareness classrooms and labs. Students will have the opportunity to learn a basic coding program. They will
be using the website learn.code.org which requires a parents signature. There will be other videos approved by
the State Office of Education which will be shown to help students understand the skills, training, career and
college opportunities available. I understand that if my child chooses to damage any equipment, she/he will pay
for its replacement. I also understand that if my child chooses not to follow established usage procedures (i.e.,
safety glasses, needles, kitchen knives, and etc.), to be disruptive, destructive or view inappropriate internet
materials, their equipment or computer use may be restricted or revoked at the instructors discretion.
