GLC2O - CAREER STUDIES - GRADE 10 OPEN

Beginning in September 2019, the Grade 10 Career Studies course implemented in all Ontario secondary schools will be based on the expectations outlined in this document. 

Course Description:

The purpose of the Careers Studies course is to equip students to intelligently and purposefully interact with their world (now and in the future) so that they live, work and participate in it as satisfied and contributing members of society. Student learning will include assessing their own knowledge, skill, and characteristics and investigating economic trends, workplace, organization, world opportunities, and ways to search for work. The course explores post-secondary learning options, prepares students for community-based learning, and helps them build the capabilities needed for managing work and life transitions. Students will design action plans for pursuing their goals. 

This is a compulsory 1⁄2 (HALF) credit course.
