//**Sponsors:**// Republican Emily Boysza from Connecticut and Republican Christa Barnoski from Illinois.

//**Issue Category and Bill Title:**// //ICC - Interactive Career Courses.// Adressing the enviroment and education//.// The **//ICC//** Bill will take on the challenge of school drop outs, career choices, and making school for interesting to each student, ultimately. This bill proposes that each attendant of any public school should be required to take one semester of the //ICC// class. They earn one highschool credit by doing so. By taking this class, a student will have the chance to get a more in depth look at what they would like to be their career. They will be able to explore something on their own, teaching them not only about their possible future occupation, but independence, with a plan in mind.
 * //Purpose://**

This bill applies to any publicly schooled student, few teachers of each public school, professors, and employers looking to hire some of these well prepared students. When this bill is put into effect, all students in grades 9 and up will be required to take this course at least once in their 4 years of highschool. When you take this class, you would be instructed online, generally, due to everyone having different interests. Most supplies would be provided, including class trips to a place of interest. For example, say the class was to do a project relating to their area of study on pollution. There may be a miniature field trip to a neighboring city, or many just outside to the woods, making this class more interesting. This is beneficial because many children are dropping out of school due to lack of interest. Because there are only 8 periods in a day and some students may not have time, doing several elective classes, this class will be available during the summer as well.
