This course aims to help students develop the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices for their education, career and life outside of school. The complexity and fluidity of the modern workplace demands graduates who are able to navigate and build their own career paths while adapting to continual change. Through Career Education, students will understand how to effectively manage their life journey toward several possible preferred futures, building on previous learning and exploration. As well as gaining the skill sets required to successfully navigate the job application process through resume and cover letter writing, and preparing for interviews. Furthermore, they will learn relevant financial literacy, goal setting and backwards planning, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, as well as core communication, thinking, and personal and social competencies.
The Big Ideas explored in this course are:
• Career-life choices are made in a recurring cycle of planning, reflecting, adapting, and deciding
• Career-life decisions are influenced by internal and external factors, including local and global trends

Classroom-based, using a variety of instructional strategies
Building upon skills from Career-Life Education A, students are encouraged to continue exploring, and refine a broad set of chosen pathways as they ponder continued career options. Students onboard skills to make contact with, and harness key network members to leverage their own understanding of specific jobs and to build connections that may serve them well in future endeavours. In-depth investigations on educational institutions and future financial earning projections are completed to heighten awareness of labour market, job feasibility, and cost of living analyses that will help to clarify post-secondary possibilities. Students continue to identify transferable skills and revisit their own self-awareness as they revise plans, and continue to identify and understand workplace issues, while refining communication and social workplace skills. Students will also have dedicated instructional sessions with the postsecondary counselling team in frontloading information for the application process. These workshopping sessions are highly individualised to best prepare students ahead of Grade 12.
