why F4K?

MANAGE the NC Graduation Project

F4K provides an electronic portfolio where students can upload and maintain documents, log mentoring conversations and save research in a single location. Students can choose to share their portfolio with others, such as parents or mentors, and educators can also view the portfolio and provide documents or links of their own for the students’ use.  Click here to view a sample portfolio!

 

CONNECT with mentors and employers

Through F4K, students have access to over 700 Career Coaches who have all had background checks and are ready to answer questions about their careers and companies. It’s a chance for students to get advice on high school course selection, their grad project product, or how to find an internship in their field of interest. 

 

CREATE a career-focused graduation plan

As students discover careers that interest them and what they need to do to get there, they can plug their findings directly into their four-year graduation plan. This forges a direct link between their classes and their future success, highlighting the real-world relevance of school. 
 

REGISTER for classes electronically

Course Planner is an online course registration program that validates students’ course selections through prerequisites, counselors’ advisory notes, and academic history and will interface with NCWISE. This optional, fee-based program will be available
on a limited basis for a 2008-2009 pilot.
