How to Use this Guide
Career Pathways
is designed as a working tool to assist you in selecting your
classes. Five industry sectors provide you with a broad
framework to build your course of study. These are divided into
pathways that fit
into each sector.
Concentration courses in each pathway show you classes that
are offered at SDA and directly relate to your area of interest.
Some classes are offered every year; other classes are offered
every other year. Support
classes are also suggested that will add additional skills
and career exploration.
Classes
that are college preparatory are noted with a “P.” ROP (Regional
Occupational Programs) classes offer students community college
credit. (* denotes classes that may result in certification in
that field.)
In each pathway, some
related careers are
noted.
Businesses that have committed to
providing internships, mentors, or speakers are noted as
Community Partnerships. These
community partners provide multiple on-going learning
opportunities for students and staff, and introduce students to
the real world of work.
As you
read through this guide, look for an area of study or career
field you are curious about. Consider exploring a career by
choosing courses that fit your skills, talents, and interests.
See your counselor for additional information and suggestions.

“Every
enterprise has to become a learning institution and a teaching
institution. Organizations that build in continuous learning in
jobs will dominate the twenty-first century.”
