School Work Program pathways
School-work program pathways offer both in-school and work-based experiences. Over the course of secondary school, students earn relevant in-school credits that enable them to develop the range of skills (literacy, numeracy, life, and employability) required for direct entry into the work force. The courses that form a student's program pathway are drawn from all disciplines and may include Applied, Academic, Open, Locally Developed Compulsory and Locally Developed Optional, and Workplace Preparation courses, as well as University or College Preparation Courses. School-work program pathways also contain a vigorous experiential learning component.
Students would benefit from selecting a program pathway that plays to their strenghths and draws out the full range of their capabilities. A school work program pathway will prepare students for employment immediately upon leaving secondary school. It provides students with the opportunity to complete secondary school diploma or certificate requirements, meet the entry-level requirement of a specific industry, develop employability and industry -specific skills and obtain experience in the workplace.
