Occupational Course of Study

What is the Future Ready Occupational Course of Study?
It is one of 2 courses of study that lead to a high school diploma in North Carolina. 
In order to participate in the FR-OCS curriculum the student must have a current Individualized Education Program (IEP) and have a post school outcome goal of obtaining employment after high school graduation. 
The curriculum focus is on...
  • Functional Academics
  • Hands-On Community Based Training
  • Vocational Skills
  • It is intended to meet the needs of a small group of students with disabilities who need a modified curriculum that focuses on post-school employment and independent living. However, the vast majority of students with disabilities will complete another course of study (as opposed to FR-OCS) with the use of accommodations, modifications, supplemental aids and services as needed.
  • Students are also required to complete career/technical education credits, and healthful living.
  • Each student MUST complete 150 hours of school-based vocational training, 225 hours of community based vocational training, and 225 hours of paid/competitive employment (or paid vocational training if paid options have been exhausted) in order to receive a high school diploma.
  • Each student must complete a career portfolio documenting completion of course of study requirements​​
