The Sun West Career Development Teacher Team
The decision as to what to do beyond high school is a difficult one. As a result, it is important to begin career planning early as it takes time to assess interests, research possibilities, develop skills, select electives, etc., in order to pave a path for the future.
To be effective in this process, a combination of parent, community, school and student involvement are critical. The Sun West Career Development Teacher team is here to help students with ever-changing conditions in the job market and will provide information to help with the life/career planning process.
The Career Development Teachers look forward to working with students in all aspects of Career Development. A few areas of focus include:
- Grade 9 Career Education (and other Middle Level Career Education Courses)
- Grade 9 and Beyond Transition Plan* Grade 10 Employability Skills Portfolios (Grade 10 through 12)
- Grade 11 Assessment Inventories* Grade 11 and 12 Individual and Group Career Counselling
- Career and Work Exploration (including off-site work based placements for specific Sun West DLC courses)
- Saskatchewan Youth Apprenticeship Program
- Apprenticeship Credits - Off-Site Work-based Training Opportunities in conjunction with DLC Classes
- Take Our Kids To Work
