The Business sector, the central pillar to Canada’s economy, is bursting with opportunities for over one third of Canada’s workforce already employed in this area. Demand for employees in this sector will be great for years to come due to the effects of globalization and new technology.
“Taking Care of Business” responds to a high level of student interest in the sector and a wide range of in-school and community-based opportunities. We have established ties with the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and to small business owners who serve on the school's Catholic School Council. Employment opportunities within the community range from finance and insurance to administration and real estate.
Business SHSM students are automatically eligible to enrol in dual high school/ college credit courses during their co-op placements. These courses are taught on a college campus.
Choosing this option will reap several benefits:
Business-related dual credits are considered a grade 12 SHSM major
Taking a dual credit at a college campus is also considered a reach ahead activity
Students earn a free post-secondary credit and a high school credit before graduating from high school and gain access to all campus resources for the entire semester.
