The goal of career education is to help students reflect and identify their personal interests and skills in order to assist with evaluating the multiple options available to them and ease the transition from secondary school the workplace and post-secondary school.
All students receive credit and a letter grade for Career Education 8 & 9. Career related guest speakers and curriculum will be delivered throughout the year. Participation in and completion of follow up assignments for Take Our Kids to Work Day for Gr. 9 is required. Both courses are not in the structured timetable and require independent study and initiative from the students.
Career Life Education 10 is a Ministry requirement and a pre-requisite for CLC 12. The aim of Career Life Education 10 is to enable students to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who set goals, make thoughtful decisions, and take responsibility for pursuing their goals throughout life. Career Life Education 10 will also provide opportunities for students to develop skills, attitudes, and behaviours that will allow them to manage their lives more purposefully and effectively, enhance their personal wellbeing and realize their full potential.
