All students eventually
enter the workforce. Having said this, there are
many pathways that lead to that ultimate destination.
Students may create or choose a secondary school
program pathway that prepares them for direct entry
to:
- apprenticeship
programs;
- college of applied arts and technology programs;
- university programs;
- the workplace.
Students planning on going to university know which
courses they need to take before they enter Grade
9 and each year after that. Students planning on
entering the workplace, apprenticeship or college
may not know the pathway to take in terms of courses.
When a student knows what they need, they are much
more engaged in their education because they have
a plan. These students need to know the pathway
so they have a Roadmap
to their post secondary destination.
Program Pathways for
Careers in the Technology Field
This program pathway is
appropriate for students who:
- have an aptitude
and/or interest and wants to pursue employment in
some technology field immediately upon leaving high
school;
- are achieving at grade level in English
and mathematics;
- have a preferred learning style
and needs that are best addressed by courses that
emphasize practical, concrete applications of concepts
while incorporating theoretical applications as
appropriate.
It provides opportunities for students
to investigate, explore and prepare for a range
of career possibilities within the transportation,
construction, hospitality and tourism, and the manufacturing
sector, to name a few.
For more information, contact your local secondary
school's technological education department or guidance
department. (Click here
