02 Testimonials

"The 02 Program has been very fun and helpful to educate me on post-secondary options, career decisions and resume building. During the first semester I have had loads of fun going on field trips, doing some volunteer work and listening to presentations on different job opportunities. This program had also really helped with employability skills such as resume building, interview skills and professionalism. Overall, this program has been very helpful in easing the blow of post-secondary options and making career decisions that may effect me for a lifetime."

"When I first applied to 02, I didn't think it was going to be much. But ti has provided me so much. I get all these amazing opportunities to learn about myself and different careers. 02 has opened my eyes to different careers I had never considered and I have discovered other options. I can really start to figure out what I want, all thanks to this program."

“I joined the Options and Opportunities Program because I did not know what I wanted to do after high school. Thanks to the 02 program I am now set up to go college for IT Programming and know what I want to do for the rest of my life. Joining the program was by far one of the best choices I made for my high school life due to all of the benefits that come with it. The program goes in depth about what life after high school is like and set you up to be ready when that time comes by making a sound resume, getting certified for numerous things like CELT and WHMIS, going on trips to places that show you how certain jobs are done, and providing a lot of volunteer experience. Even if you know exactly what you want to do job wise in the future this program is still amazing since you will be able to explore that job with the three co-ops experiences. Even on top of all of this you also get a guaranteed seat at an NSCC campus of your choosing. Thanks to all of these benefits my life is on track exactly the way I want it to be. If you are thinking about joining this program it will undoubtedly be an amazing experience.
