The choices you make for grade 11 impact your options for grade 12 and beyond
AND YES, YOU NEED TO BE THINKING AHEAD

4. 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.

19. Things to Think About During Course Selection
With ‘Full Disclosure’, Universities and Colleges will receive all of your grade 11 course marks.
Plan to have all compulsory requirements done (except for gr. 12 English) by the end of grade 11 – including Group 1, 2, and 3.
Two grade 11 Phys. Ed. at the ‘open level’ are permitted – just remember they are ‘open level’ and not recognized by universities and colleges

20. Myths Corrected
Universities DO NOT CARE whether you have extra college, open or workplace credits on your record – only that you have a minimum of 6 GRADE 12 U or M courses
RESEARCH pre-requisites for university/college:
many programs DO NOT require grade 12 math
