Evolution Towards Employability

East Noble Academy offers a Locally Created Pathway (LCP) called Evolution Towards Employability, approved by the Indiana Department of Education. This pathway is designed for students who may be behind in credits and are seeking a more hands-on, workforce-focused route to graduation — without losing their East Noble High School identity.

Students in this pathway remain enrolled at ENHS and graduate with a Core 40 diploma. The LCP builds personal responsibility, confidence, communication, and readiness for what comes next — whether that’s a job, technical training, the military, or additional education.

Required Courses

All students in this pathway complete a targeted sequence of courses designed to build real-world readiness:

  • Speech (Edgenuity; counts as English credit)
    Students learn to communicate clearly and confidently, organize their ideas, and analyze media in modern settings — all without live public speaking.

  • Personal Finance
    Focuses on money management, taxes, saving, credit, and how to avoid financial traps in adulthood.

  • Adult Roles & Responsibilities (only at ENA)
    Covers boundaries, emotional regulation, decision-making, cooking, cleaning, and building a meaningful life.

  • Preparing for College & Careers
    Helps students explore options, write resumes, complete applications, and map out realistic next steps.

  • Internship (At least 1 trimester and up to 6; 2 credits per trimester)
    A flexible, hands-on work-based learning experience through a local job, employer placement, or Pre-ETS support.

Additional Preparation

Students also receive awareness in:

  • Bloodborne pathogens

  • Bullying prevention

  • Human trafficking

  • Suicide prevention

  • Seclusion and restraint

  • McKinney-Vento homelessness

  • Child abuse reporting

  • Seizure response
