CAREER AWARENESS PROGRAM
For more than 25 years, the HIEC Career Centre has provided programs and services that support students as they prepare to transition into high school, allowing them to imagine a post-secondary pathway that will set them up for future success.
Our interactive and student-driven Career Awareness Program provides students with access to current information on a wide range of career options for a variety of learners. The Career Awareness Program complements and extends career/life planning beyond the classroom and is designed to support students as they prepare to make the transition to secondary school.
WE’RE VIRTUAL FOR 2020-2021
We’ve converted our Career Awareness Program into a virtual delivery offering that is perfect for in-person and virtual classrooms, homeschooling pods, libraries and anybody else who is looking to deliver career awareness programming to young people.
