Career Planning
Are you ready to do some Career Planning? It is essential to start thinking about what you would like to do after high school. Some of the courses that you take in high school can give you some insight into what your interests are and can also help with admission to specific programs.
First, it is important to think about your interests. Where would you like to work? What are your strengths and what is important to you? To help you answer these questions you should check out my Blueprint. Click on "Sign Up" and enter our school's activation key (which is baccalieu). Select your grade and click next to follow the rest of the sign up.
Once you've completed the Career Matchmaker section of my Blueprint, you'll have a list of occupations that have been matched with your interests. Now is when you need to be thinking about all the various occupations that are out there for you! What are the job opportunities in Newfoundland? Will those opportunities change in the future? Check out Labour Market and Career Information in Newfoundland and Labrador to help you answer these questions!
Finally, you need to determine which career path you will take. How do you choose that path? You need to network with other people, further develop your life skills and abilities and maybe even gain some hands-on experience through some volunteer initiatives! For information on skill development and learning programs for youth in Newfoundland visit this LMI Works site as well as this CDLI site
