  • Develop learning skills, social skills, the ability to formulate and pursue educational and career goals
  • Apply this learning to their lives and their work in the school and the community
  • Students will acquire these skills and knowledge through guidance and career education courses, cooperative education courses and the development of the Pathway Planner.
