This is a three-year program designed as an alternative to secondary school for students who are interested in a program that combines academic courses with occupational skills training and on-the-job experience. Students entering grade 10 are eligible to apply for the Career Exploration Program. Students entering grades 11 & 12 will also be considered.

The following is a list of the shop options. Additional shops may be offered as demand and resources allow. The school reserves the right not to offer a shop/course should unforeseen circumstances arise.

Automotive: Auto Systems, Auto Maintenance 11 & 12

Building Systems: Building Systems Maintenance, Building Systems Technology 11 & 12

Food Service: Food Preparation and Service 10, Dining Guest Services 11 &12 & Food Science 12

For your convenience the Course Descriptions for these shops can be found in the Course Description Booklet for Grade 10-12 students.

Each shop is accompanied by a co-op work placement credit. Students will take part in work experience for a total of four weeks, two weeks in the fall and two weeks in the spring. The co-op work placement must relate closely to the shop course the student is taking.

Students completing this program will graduate with a NS High School Diploma and can go to community college or other suitable post-secondary program or directly to work. After three years in the Career Exploration Program most students will have the following: 12 weeks of Co-op work experience; WHMIS; First Aid; additional certificates such as Fall Arrest & Food Safe Level I; and a resume.
