Grade 12 (40F/S)

Career Development – Transitioning to the Workplace, University, and College 40S

This course provides students with practical knowledge to help them transition successfully to the workplace after high school graduation or after completing postsecondary studies at a university, college, or private vocational institution (PVI). Unlike most other career development courses, this one is designed for students who would benefit from a career development course that does not require any form of practical experience, work experience, or volunteering. Modules have been created to support the course’s “Big ideas”:

• Big Idea 1 Health and safety are necessary to thrive in the workplace, university, and
  college.
• Big Idea 2 Each workplace is unique, complex, and competitive, so it requires
  specific attitudes, skills, and knowledge to enter and navigate.
• Big Idea 3 Each occupation is complex and has unique characteristics, which
  potential employees need to understand in order to make informed decisions.
• Big Idea 4 Organizations, regulations, and ethics influence the workplace.
• Big Idea 5 Education and training are essential to entering into, and succeeding in,
  the workplace.
