PLANNING FOR WORK

myBlueprint is a great starting point to assess your interests in employment.   Login using your school username and password. Complete the surveys under the “Who Am I” tab to match your interests, learning style, personality, knowledge and motivations with potential careers.    There is a built-in search engine that allows you to research occupations.

Co-op can be a great way to “test-drive” an occupation. Students are eligible to take co-op in grade 11 and/or grade 12. There are 2 and 4-credit co-op options.
