DESCRIPTION
Career Development 2201 was a course introduced in 2006 to enhance student learning in the area of career development. The course helps students develop skills necessary to be good consumers of the labour market.
Based on the Blueprint for Life/Work Design, this course contains three main areas of study:
• Personal Management (including financial management);
• Career Exploration – Learning and Work (showing the significant linkages between school and work); and,
• Career Preparation – Life and Work Building (preparing students the world of work they will be entering).
The course also includes a community contribution component of 30 hours required for graduation.
An integrated module for career development was also introduced in 2012. This module sets the stage for high school while helping students build understanding about the career development process and their place in it.
RESULTS
All students in the province who have graduated since 2007 have completed this course.
