International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme

What is IBCP?

The Career-related Programme (CP), designed by the International Baccalaureate (IB), is an innovative education programme tailored to students who want to focus on career-related learning in the last two years of high school. It allows students to create an individualized path that leads to either further study or employment after graduation.

By developing academic skills and employment-related competencies, the CP provides the basis for:

Effective participation in the changing workplace

Improved mobility and flexibility in employment

Additional training

Further education

Lifelong learning

Here’s how the CP works: It combines courses from the International Baccalaureate’s highly regarded Diploma Programme (DP) with an approved career-related study program and a unique CP core. The core consists of four components--Language Development; Service Learning; Personal and Professional Skills and a Reflective Project—blended together to enhance critical thinking and intercultural understanding. Combined, these elements help students develop the communication and personal skills necessary for success in a rapidly changing world.
