Since 1984, the Utah State Board of Education has required secondary schools to assist every student in preparing an individual Student Education Occupation Plan (SEOP).
Through an ongoing partnership involving students, parents, school counselors, and other school personnel, students in grades 7-12 develop their SEOP in collaboration with their parents or guardians, and the secondary school educator.
