Overview of Career Pathways EPSB

OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATION

Some of the best learning experiences happen outside of the classroom. Off-Campus Education allows students to step outside of the high school environment to gain knowledge, skills and attributes in the world of work. These programs involve the school, our students, and local employers in a collaborative effort to enhance, support and extend our students’ learning and experiences.

CAREER EXPLORATION

Most of these programs are for one semester and all day.

WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM

Work Experience is an experiential method of learning that integrates a student's classroom studies with on- the-job experiences obtained at a qualifying business or organization. Students acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to work and other valuable life roles through their participation at a placement of their choice. Students can work or volunteer part-time after school or on weekends in a variety of work sites. They will earn high school credits as they develop valuable employment skills.
