The decision about a career is one of the most important that any young person will make. Although there is much information available about the fast-changing world of work, there is no easy way to explore one’s options in the real world.

A high school Career Club encourages students in grades 9–12 to learn about potential careers and explore fields that interest them. Members are introduced to budgets and create one based upon future lifestyle choices and the average income of their researched careers.

Members review and discuss skills for success, transferable skills, and skills that enable high school students to embrace and succeed in their high school program. Finally, members engage in career activities including building a resume, finding and applying for jobs and internship opportunities, and developing interview strategies and techniques.

The club enables students to transition from high school with more direction in mind, making them more likely to embrace and succeed in a post-secondary program that prepares them for pursuing their career interests
