Career Education

A person’s career is considered their “journey” through life, and the Career Education curriculum offers students the opportunity to pursue this journey in personally meaningful and goal-oriented ways. In this course, students will focus on goal-setting, career research and planning, local and global needs and opportunities, mentorship, volunteering, digital citizenship, and workplace safety.

This 4-credit course is a graduation requirement. The course content will be covered within PHE, Religion and CLE classes. The goal of the course is to enable students to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who display initiative, establish goals, make thoughtful decisions, and take responsibility for pursuing their goals in an ever-changing society.

CLC provides opportunities for students to plan for successful learning in the Graduation Program, explore a wide range of post-secondary education and career options, think critically about health issues and decisions, develop financial literacy skills related to pursuing their education and career goals, and begin planning the actions required to pursue post-secondary destinations and career paths. At the grade eleven level, students will also focus on their independent Capstone Project.
