The CP is designed for students aged 16–19 who are interested in career-focused learning, combined with the academic rigour of IB courses. It offers a unique blend of academic knowledge, practical skills, and personal development through real-world experiences. The CP supports students in becoming confident, adaptable, and globally aware individuals, prepared for higher education, apprenticeships, or direct entry into the workforce.
