Career Studies, Grade 10 (Open)

This course gives students the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and habits
that will support them in their education and career/life planning. Students will learn about
global work trends, and seek opportunities within the school and community to expand and
strengthen their transferable skills and their ability to adapt to the changing world of work.
On the basis of exploration, reflective practice, and decision-making processes, students
will make connections between their skills, interests, and values and their postsecondary
options, whether in apprenticeship training, college, community living, university, or the
workplace. They will set goals and create a plan for their first postsecondary year. As part
of their preparation for the future, they will learn about personal financial management –
including the variety of saving and borrowing tools available to them and how to use them
to their advantage – and develop a budget for their first year after secondary school. 

Prerequisite: None
