01

Start here

About you

This plan belongs to you and can change as you learn more.

02

Choose a direction

Where am I headed?

Choose the pathway you are pursuing now. “Still deciding” is valid, but your plan should include the research needed to decide.

Primary pathway
03

Know the destinations

Who or what am I pursuing?

List up to three actual colleges, programs, apprenticeships, employers, branches, or opportunities. You do not need three if your plan is already focused.

Make it manageable

How will I keep the plan moving?

A short weekly routine is more useful than waiting for motivation or a deadline.

One plan. One graded assignment.

Review and submit.

Your teacher will use this plan to help you complete the real next steps—not to create extra tasks.
