The Workplace Pathway

There are many viable entry-level job opportunities for students who have completed their OSSD and have workplace experiences. Students who are fast-tracking into the workforce/community directly after high school should:

work with guidance, community-based education, subject teachers, employment centres to create a personal portfolio (resume, cover letters, letters of reference, successes, etc.) to present to prospective employers, and,

be aware that cooperative education is an important component of workplace preparation.

Remember we are all going to work but we enter the workforce at different times in our lives!

Think about your own Career Journey

Be mindful of the destination, but focus primarily on the journey.

Remember that pathways are changeable and flexible. As interests, skills and aptitudes develop and mature, there will be many opportunities for yourself to re-chart your journey.

48

Opening Doors

When you choose courses for secondary school, it is important that you do some honest self assessment, matching your ability with your interests and aptitudes.

When we choose courses based on a concern about “closing doors” we are suggesting that the door locks behind us. There are many pathways to the destination they dream of!
