• Career Education http://district.fayar.net/programs/career_education
  • The goal of Career Education is to empower students for effective participation in an global economy as world-class workers and citizens. Currently 66 percent of the student population in grades 7 through 12 is enrolled in a career education program of study. A student who completes a pathway by earning 3 full credits as prescribed earns the distinction of Career Education Scholar and is awarded a graduation cord, a certificate with the state of Arkansas gold seal, and is honored at a special recognition ceremony.
  • Career Education (CE) begins with a focused exploration of the self in relation to the world of work. Students discover their interests, talents, aptitudes, and abilities. They also learn which careers might suit them best. The workforce has evolved into a world where skills and academics go hand in hand. CE classes have also evolved over the years to incorporate industry standards, academic standards (reading, writing and mathematics), career standards, and life skills. Aligning community college and university curriculums is a focused goal so that students begin planning and earning college credit while still in high school.
