SENCAP Student Expectations and Outcomes
We expect students to earn their high school diploma and have fun exploring their career pathway.
Bene昀椀ts include:
• earning college credits while still in
high school
• scholarship to help cover some
tuition/fees
• learning key skills in the career
pathway
• learning career-readiness skills
• being ready for immediate employment
with the enhanced skills they’ve
developed
• earning a recognized certification or be
well on the way to completing one
• being eligible for entry into a community
college training or degree program
What is the optional Student Portfolio?
In addition to the college credit courses, students may enroll in an online student portfolio.
They will access SCC’s online CANVAS to complete weekly assignments. The assignments
will provide students an opportunity to explore a variety of careers in their pathway.
Typical portfolio assignments include:
Career Search
Students will research career interests,
identify job growth, salary, education
requirements, and consider what
foundational/soft skills are necessary to
be successful in the career.
Field Trip Reflections, Career Days,
Discovery Days
Field trips are career oriented and
usually involve going to a worksite.
Instructors are encouraged to suggest
field trip companies/sites to their SENCAP
coordinator, helping make the connection
from class to academy to career.
Career and Discovery Days are a great
opportunity for students to connect the
full process from education to career.
Scholarships
Students will research local and national
scholarships.
Résumé & Cover Letter Building,
References
Students will create a traditional résumé
and obtain personal references. Secondyear SENCAP students will transform
their résumés into conversational
résumés, obtain references and letters of
recommendation.
Social Media
Students will gain an understanding
of how social media can work to their
professional benefit and how long-lasting
a digital footprint can be: Twitter, Blogging,
LinkedIn, etc.
Job Shadows
Students are required to complete a
minimum of two job shadows a year. Job
shadowing provides students a great
opportunity to see the occupation in real
life and ask questions of the individuals in
that career path.
Students who are involved with the
Individualized Education Program (IEP) at
their high school need to apply at SCC for
accommodations for their college classes.
The Accommodations Resource Office (ARO)
helps students set up accommodations while
enrolled in classes at Southeast Community
College.
It is important to note that a High School
IEP or 504 plan does not apply to the College
classes that a student takes at SCC through
the SENCAP program.
If a SENCAP student meets any of the
following criteria, they may qualify and
should apply for accommodations:
• Students who experience a disability
• Students who have or have had an IEP or 504
Plan in high school
• Students who are expecting a child
• Students can contact the SENCAP/Dual-Credit
Coordinator working with their school to apply
for accommodations through SCC.

Additional Advising
In addition to working closely with the
SENCAP Coordinator, students also can meet
with an SCC advisor for guidance in their
academic planning. Advisors can also discuss
dual-credit courses and transfer options.
Please contact advising with questions or to
schedule an appointment.

“SENCAP/Dual Credit is the perfect opportunity to save
time and money on college while in high school. These
classes also provide the eye-opening experience of
college-level work. I don’t know who would not want to
enter the next chapter of their life one step ahead.”
