Local Middle School Added To Statewide ICE Pilot Program

Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 7:05 AM

The extension is a result of SEA 297 passed by the Indiana General Assembly earlier this year.

(Sunman, Ind.) - One local middle school is being added to a statewide pilot program in Indiana.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development announced Monday that the Indiana Career Explorer (ICE) Pilot Program has expanded by 20 middle schools across the state of Indiana for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year.

Among the schools added to the program is Sunman-Dearborn Middle School.

As part of the program, eighth-graders will utilize all components of the Indiana Career Explorer tool, including career exploration, career plan development and skills and work values assessments.

“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 expansion of the ICE Pilot Program is a result of SEA 297 passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2018 requiring that the Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Workforce Development, increase the number of schools involved in the pilot program for instruction in and use of the ICE program and curriculum by at least 15 schools.
