Career Education - Covid 19 support

Career Education offers students the opportunity to pursue their journey through life in a personal, meaningful and goal-oriented way (Ministry of Education). What does this mean in a time of crisis? Career Development supports the well being of individuals and society by asking individuals to engage in self-awareness, community connections, and career-life explorations.
