Career Preparation Program

Career Preparation programs are educational programs that prepare students for entry into the workplace or for further education and training in a specific Career Pathway. Each Career Preparation program consists of a number of support courses within a Career Pathway in addition to 100 hours of work experience (WEX12A). Successful completion results in a Career Preparation Certificate.

Career Preparation programs are for students who are interested in exploring one or more career choices through school based courses and related work experience.

Many BC employers are familiar with the outcomes of a Career Preparation program. A Career Preparation Certificate is an excellent attachment to the resume and graduation portfolio.

The goals of Career Preparation include:

  • Providing opportunities for enhanced career development activities.
  • Providing students with entry level skills for specific employment opportunities.
  • Improving transition between secondary school and the workplace.
  • Enhancing transition between the secondary and post-secondary education systems.

 Career Preparation programs are continually being revised to better meet the needs of individual students. Students should contact the Career Programs Coordinator for program and registration information.
