Sunman-Dearborn Middle School added to ICE program

Sunman, In. — The Indiana Department of workforce Development has assigned the Sunman-Dearborn Middle School to the Indiana Career Explorer Pilot Program. Sunman-Dearborn Middle School is one of 20 schools in state added to the program this week.

Now, eighth-grade students will have access to the Indiana Career Explorer tool to plan, assess and evaluate skills.

“A lot of enhancements were added to the ICE tool during the first year of the pilot,” said Beth Meguschar, DWD Associate Chief Operating Officer, Workforce Education and Training. “We are excited for our new pool of pilot schools to be utilizing our improved, school-friendly model to help students make more informed decisions in their career exploration and planning process.”

The addition of schools to the program was mandated by lawmakers during the 2018 Indiana General Assembly.
