Career Education
“Career Development is one of the three goals of education from kindergarten to grade 12.”
The Career Programs department of the Cariboo-Chilcotin School District supports students in elementary through secondary school in identifying and developing their personal interests, passions, and abilities through experiential learning, community connections, and reflections in advancing career—life development. We offer a wide range of programs and resources in Career Education that prepare students in the attainment of their career and occupational objectives.
Through partnerships with employers, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations, the district is able to offer a variety of learning opportunities.
