4 credits – inside the timetable – mandatory for graduation

Career Life Education will enable students to investigate career-life options and to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who set goals, make thoughtful decisions and take responsibility for pursuing their goals throughout life. Students will have opportunities to explore their post-secondary education and career options, to expand their job seeking skills, to develop their financial literacy skills, and to gain a greater awareness of local social issues and connect with community organizations to help make a positive difference in the lives of others. In addition, as students take this course in their grade 11 year, it will provide them with the invaluable opportunity to begin to work on their Capstone Project under the direct guidance and support of the Career Life Education teacher and assist them in preparing for their Capstone Project presentation required in grade 12.

CAREER LIFE EDUCATION 11 ON-LINE at OAK BAY HIGH (CLE 11)

4 credits – outside the timetable – mandatory for graduation

The online self-directed Career Life Education course is for individuals who are self-disciplined and able to work through and complete assignments primarily on their own and who have a valid reason for not being able to take the in-class course. Students will be required to work through the course using on-line self-directed materials; therefore, these students must be good at reading and following written directions as in addition to managing their time well to complete required assignments. Students enrolled in the on-line version will be required to attend one class per week outside the timetable plus attend three guest speaker presentations throughout the school year.

Students must complete an application form, have it signed by your parents and be accepted by the teacher prior to being placed in this class by a school administrator or counsellor.
