The career development process helps prepare you for work or for post-secondary education or training by matching the kind of work you like to do with your personal interests and values, and linking these to possible options to follow after you leave high school. No matter what your decisions are for life and work after high school, the career program you choose to take at high school will better prepare you to achieve your goals.
Ask your school counsellor to find out what career programs are available in
your school. You are not limited to the career program offered in your
school. Career programs offered in another school or in your school district
may also be available. Check out the web page of your local school district
to see if there is a school district career program listing section.
