Career Education 

Carpentry Class

A person’s career is considered their “journey” through life.

Career Education consists of much more than simply "job education." It involves exploration of one's identity, values, interests, and goals.

Career education recognizes the holistic and multidimensional nature of life's journey and involves the exploration of community, post-secondary pathways and workplaces while also including an emphasis on wellness and mental health.
