Course Description
The Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Program (CCGP) is designed to assist K-12 students through specific self-appraisal and self-improvement activities, to enable effective planning to meet each student's personal education and career goals. Our vision is to provide every student with the assistance and guidance to effectively identify, select, plan and prepare for a life/career of choice while giving each student the encouragement and supports to achieve the goals which will enable her or him to have increased school success and better preparation for the next steps following high school, whether that be immediate job entry or additional education or training opportunities. The CCGP Student Outcomes drive the delivery of direct services to 100% of Utah students through Guidance Curriculum, Individual Planning and Responsive Services activities.
