Most employment sectors have a full range of employment opportunities: scientist engineer technologist technician skilled trades person skilled trades assistant University degree (4-6 yr.) University Degree (4-6 yr.) College diploma (3 yr.) College diploma (2 yr.) Apprenticeship Certification (2-5 yr.) On the job Training (1 – 2 yr.) It is important to recognize that every sector offers a full range of employment opportunities for individuals with a variety of learning styles and skill development. Every person should be able to see themselves in this continuum. If your child is interested in science & technology, this chart demonstrates that they can pursue employment along one of several paths, depending on whether they prefer a more hands-on v.s. an academic approach. They may want to look at the continuum beginning with the most applied opportunities as a skilled trades assistant or move anywhere along the continuum to the level that best reflects their learning style, interests and aptitudes. Every sector has this continuum - - think about Health care or Hospitality and Tourism - - you will be able to plot a wide variety of careers available to all our students.

Ed. at the ‘open level’ are permitted – just remember they are ‘open level’ and not recognized by universities and colleges
