Career
Students learn what kinds of work fit their strengths, interests, and needs.
Your plan after high school should make sense to you.
Catalyst helps students build a clear plan, show evidence, and explain why their next step fits them.
ICAP
What ICAP means.
In Colorado, ICAP means Individual Career and Academic Plan. It is the plan students keep in grades 9-12 for life after high school.
Academic
Students connect classes, training, and graduation steps to their goals.
Plan
Students make a plan they can explain, revise, and use.
Catalyst
What a student builds.
Catalyst turns planning into evidence. A student does not just check a box. They build work that shows their thinking.
- Self map.
The student names strengths, interests, limits, and questions.
- Pathway research.
The student compares jobs, training, cost, time, and fit.
- Decision brief.
The student explains a choice and supports it with evidence.
- Course plan.
The student connects school choices to the path ahead.
- Readiness portfolio.
The student gathers the best evidence in one place.
Safety
What AI does not do.
AI support is narrow. It may help draft or organize. It does not replace a counselor, grade a student, approve a plan, or make official decisions.
Human review
A counselor or school-approved adult reviews the work.
Student privacy
Student data must be handled through a school-approved process.
Clear records
Actions should be logged so the school can review what happened.
For families
The simple question is this: can the student explain the plan, the evidence, and the next step? Catalyst is built around that question.
