What is an Education Development Plan (EDP)?

An EDP documents the ongoing process in which a learner identifies both career goals and a plan of action to achieve them. The purpose of the EDP is to provide every student with an ongoing record of career planning that will help guide them in selecting careers that align with their aptitude, interests and strengths.

• Students in Oakland County access Career Crusing, an online system, to document individual plans for academic achievement and career goals.
• Students develop their EDP before leaving the 8th grade level with the support of parents and the educational system focusing on career exploration of the Michigan Career Pathways.
• Each year students have the opportunity to review and update their EDP to reflect changes in their career decisions and plan accordingly when selecting courses.
