Virtual school offers skill development courses through local career centers

Career centers provide guidance on choosing a career path, exploring different industries, and understanding the job market. This support can help students make informed decisions about their future careers.

Indiana Connections Career Academy provides students with a safe, engaging environment that offers STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) and career-focused courses for specific skill development and career exposure.

Logan Johnston, Indiana Connections Career Academy student and Noblesville resident, attends ABC Construction Prep Academy in Fishers. Last summer, he completed an internship with Gaylor Electric.

“I am completing training to become an Electrician,” Johnston said. “I am currently in the first year of my apprenticeship. It has been fun going to ABC. We work on electrical circuits and study the course work.”

In its seventh year of operation, Indiana Connections Career Academy students utilize the same long-standing and developed online curriculum and technology as its companion school, Indiana Connections Academy. The difference between the two high school programs is that Indiana Connections Career Academy students pursue graduation requirements to earn a high school diploma while also completing a career-focused program that prepares them for joining the workforce in one of Indiana’s high-growth fields. By engaging in Career Education Live Lessons, completing career-facing activities, and demonstrating employability skills, students earn badges, gain elective credit and are better prepared for life after high school.
