Career Life Plan

As part of the Anglophone Sector’s new graduation requirements, every learner will be required to develop an ongoing personalized Career Life Plan.

A cornerstone for the Grade 9 year is Career Connected Learning. Career Connected Learning is embedded in Personal Wellness 9, but is also important for other curricular areas, as it is foundational to individual decisions about courses and willingness to engage in the multi-faceted high school experience (ie. courses, social activities, co- and extracurriculars, and community involvement)

For students expected to graduate in 2026 and after, the graduation requirements are new. Policy 316B indicates that as of 2026, graduates must:

 

  • have met learning requirements prescribed in Grade 9 curriculum
  • have completed compulsory credit-hours in Grades 10 through 12
  • have accumulated 100 credit-hours to apply for graduation
  • have developed a documented Career Life Plan
