Career Life Education B (11)

Career Life Education aims to provide students with a greater understanding of their personal development and career decisions. Students will gain an understanding of Regional and Global trends and how they play into possible career opportunities. They will take steps in developing a digital portfolio and a personal post-secondary plan while building a foundation for their culminating capstone project that they will present in Grade 12. The goals of Career Life Education are to:

• To develop a strong sense of self-awareness through the core competencies and understand the role they play in becoming lifelong learners

• To think critically about career planning 

• To develop financial literacy skills 

• To plan the actions required to pursue post-secondary destinations and career paths

• To develop collaborative and communication skills in face-to-face, written, and digital media settings.

• To set a foundation for their capstone project. Students must complete both Career Life Education courses to satisfy graduation requirements. 

Career Life Education is designated as a 4-credit course that has been divided into 2 credits for Grade 10 and 2 credits for Grade 11. Students are placed in a full-year course that meets once per week with a grade 11 cohort of peers. They will have the same teacher/cohort for the duration of the three years wherever possible.
