Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP)

Introducing the New ICAP Model 

Supporting Every Student's Postsecondary Future

Colorado’s updated ICAP Model strengthens how schools support students in planning for life after graduation. 

The model organizes ICAP into a tiered system of supports and emphasizes meaningful planning and postsecondary readiness. 

Every student. Every year. A meaningful plan.
