CTS:  Career Transitions

The Career Transitions strand helps students prepare for the transition from school to the workplace. Through such CTS courses as leadership, safety, career readiness and others, students learn to see themselves as agents of change, innovators and leaders. These skills and experiences can be applied to any career endeavour.

Career Transitions is just one of 22 strands* in Career and Technology Studies (CTS). For more information on the full group of CTS strands, visit the CTS Curriculum Structure.

*Each CTS "strand" is comprised of a group of 1-credit courses designed to support positive career opportunities for students.
