Southwick Regional School's Innovation Career Pathways (ICP) is a DESE designated program designed to provide students with valuable opportunities for career exploration within specific industries while in high school. Beginning in their 9th grade year and continuing through graduation, students engage in a series of career-specific technical courses, additional career and college advising, college level courses, and an internship in their senior year. Participation in SRS’s Innovation Pathways is free for students, but they are required to apply and demonstrate commitment to sustain enrollment in the program. The curriculum is tailored to the high-demand industry of healthcare and social assistance, and provides students with industry skills, opportunities to earn credentials, and insights gained through guest speakers and field trips. The culmination of the program prepares students for future careers by offering local internships, allowing them to acquire workplace skills and experiences.
