MyCAP: Are You Ready for Full Implementation for All Students?
This training equips school counselors with the knowledge and tools to create and implement MyCAP (Massachusetts’ Individual Career and Academic Plan) for every student. Participants will explore the purpose and components of MyCAP, including academic goals, career exploration, skills development, and post-secondary planning, and learn how to tailor plans to meet each student’s unique strengths, interests, and aspirations. Through practical examples, hands-on exercises, and collaborative discussion, counselors will practice gathering student data, developing actionable goals, and using technology to track progress. Participants will leave with a physical action plan to implement MyCAPs across their student population, ensuring that every student has a meaningful roadmap for academic success and career readiness.

MASCA deeply values its diverse membership and is fully committed to creating an organization where each individual is welcomed, included, respected and empowered. No person will be excluded from MASCA on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, political affiliation or military status, or for any other discriminatory reason. These activities include, but are not limited to, appointment of its Governing Board, hiring or firing of staff, selection of volunteers and vendors, and the providing of services. This policy is fundamental to the effective functioning of MASCA as an organization that supports counselors and promotes equity in our schools, districts and the Commonwealth.
