Career Life Connections – Important Points

CLC is a 2-credit course that replaces the content of the old Graduation Transitions Program and focuses on three major themes to prepare you for life after high school

  • Personal Development (preparation for post graduation)
  • Connections to Community (perspectives and transferable skills)
  • Career Life Plan (career, finances, education, health & well-being)
  • Minimum of 30 hours career exploration and volunteer opportunities

CLC will be offered as a course in the library to work with a member of the CLC team to complete the course (offered through Google Classroom)

  • October & November – students report on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s (during Career Ed 12 block) to check-in and provide a progress update
  • Goal is to have students complete the CLC (curriculum) by December 1st.  After successful completion of the course, the block will become a study block for students for the remainder of the school year.

A final mark (percentage) will be recorded on the final report card in June.
