• Delaware Area Career Center - Career-Based Intervention 9/10
  • Students with an IEP or 504 Plan, or economically disadvantaged students can begin taking advantage of the opportunities offered by DACC in their freshman year (DACC's traditional programming begins during students' junior year).
  • In the CBI 9/10 program, students learn employability skills and model them by working within various areas of the school. The classwork exposes students to careers and opportunities here at DACC and beyond. The skills learned in the Career Based Intervention (CBI) program help to prepare students to enter the workforce, military, or pursue higher education. Preference will be given to students already enrolled in a middle school DACC CBI program.
  • This class is a gateway to Career Technical programs that may allow the student the opportunity to work part-time during school hours as a Junior or Senior. Curriculum is focused on general skills that apply to any workplace setting or career choice. Students will visit and have opportunities to participate in labs to make informed decisions and future choices at DACC for junior and senior years.
