Career Development Supports for Schools
Career Planning for Students in Schools
Career exploration begins long before the transition to work, and we’re here to support that journey. We help empower students – along with the parents and educators who guide them – to set meaningful goals, develop essential skills for navigating career decisions, and explore potential future pathways.
Tailored Career Exploration and Planning Programs
Through personalized guidance and hands-on activities, students develop the skills and confidence they need for career success. Our programs combine education and support to give students clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for the opportunities ahead. Each delivery is customized to the needs of the school and students, and include:
- Interactive presentations and workshops that teach tangible career-planning skills and practical strategies
- Assessment-informed insights that help students explore new possibilities and identify suitable career pathways
- Material adapted for students of all ages – from elementary through post-secondary – to support career and education planning at every stage
- Engaging, actionable learning experiences for students, parents, and educators to ensure everyone involved in the planning process is well informed
Empowering Schools with Career Development Supports
We partner with schools to develop comprehensive student experience surveys that provide insights across academic, personal, social, and emotional domains. These surveys give schools a holistic understanding of the student experience and inform evidence-based decisions to enhance learning outcomes. Our survey-based supports include:
- Collection of data from elementary to high school students to capture a complete view of the student experience
- Analysis and reporting to identify areas of strength and those for improvement to inform program planning
- Evidence-based recommendations to strengthen career guidance, planning, and educational initiatives
- Support for school leadership and educators to optimize growth, opportunities, and student success
Career Counselling for High School Students
Our career counselling services provide individualized guidance to help students clarify goals and explore their career potentials. Through a combination of assessments, reflective exercises, and expert support, students:
- Clarify their interests, skills, strengths, personality and values
- Explore educational and career opportunities that best suit their needs and aspirations
- Make informed decisions and create actionable plans for their future
- Build confidence in their long-term career potential and personal growth.
