Guidance and Career Education addresses many of the important questions that students face at this time in their lives:
  • How can they better manage their time, resources, and relationships with other people to improve their chances for success in high school and the world beyond?
  • What useful knowledge, skills, and habits do they already have, that they can improve, to achieve success in school and at work?
  • How can they best chart a course for postsecondary destinations, (apprenticeship, university, work, and college)?
Guidance and Career Education helps students learn how to:
  • Set goals for post secondary education and the work place.
  • Develop the strategies required to achieve their goals.
  • Discover their interests, aptitudes, strengths, and values and use this self-awareness to develop a career/education plan.
Guidance and Career Education helps students:
  • Understand that a career is not just an occupational destination but also a lifelong journey that includes varied and changing work, family, and community roles.
  • Develop learning and employability skills and strategies that they can use in their secondary and postsecondary studies and in the workplace.
  • Learn the knowledge and skills required for effective communication, teamwork, and leadership.
