Versailles, In. — The Indiana Department of Workforce Development and Indiana Department of Education have announced plans to bring the Indiana Career Explorer Pilot Program to South Ripley Junior High School.
“The earlier we work with students and prepare them for life beyond high school, the more successful they will be upon graduation,” said Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction. “The Indiana Career Explorer program is a great way to introduce students to thinking about their future, and I am thankful for the collaboration provided by the Department of Workforce Development to help make this possible. I am also grateful to the participating schools whose students will benefit greatly from their commitment to this important program.”
The ICE Pilot Program evaluates and enhances critical college and career readiness through in-classroom instruction in the eighth grade to help students identify in-demand, well-paying careers.
South Ripley Junior High School is one of only 16 schools selected in the state to participate in the program.
