Xello is a unique career exploration tool designed to help students better understand their strengths, interests, and skills through engagement in career, personality, and learning style assessments. Xello also provides ample ways for students to learn more about their options after high school: post-secondary exploration and planning for the future. The BC counselors highly recommend that our students engage with Xello in their college/career exploration process.
Students can access their Xello account via the tile in their MyElmbrook portal
Parents now can also access their child's Xello account! Observing your student’s work in Xello will create great conversation starters between you and your child. Feel free to engage in any of the many lessons provided to your child at home through their account! Please complete this form to gain access.
Beginning this school year we have added the Work-based Learning platform option to Xello. This platform is where all jobs and career-based learning opportunities will be posted for students to view! Students can view opportunities for PT jobs, volunteer work, mentorships, internships, and job shadows. Students will also be able to enter their own opportunities!
Please visit this link for instructions on how to access these opportunities on Xello!
