Agenda General Course Selection Information Who am I?: - Pathway information What are my opportunities?: - Post-secondary pathway planning - What to expect 2016/2017 - Exploring Resources Who do I want to become?: - Goal-setting (academic achievement, volunteer, work experience, personal and family expectations) What is my plan for achieving my goals?: - Knowledge is key - Attending information sessions (post-secondary, scholarships, guidance area) - Graduation Requirements

New Education and Career/ Life Planning Program for Ontario Schools “puts students at the centre of their own learning. Students are encouraged to discover themselves, explore opportunities, pursue their passions and design their personal pathways to success...It takes the whole education community (educators, administrators, students and parents), as well as the broader community to support students in this learning”

Who am I? Reflect on who you are: your profile…. interests, experiences, intelligences, accomplishments, student achievement. Where do you see the best fit for you following secondary school? Which pathway or pathways interest you?

apprenticeship Bound? Why Choose an Apprenticeship? You are interested in hands on learning (85% on the job training, 15% school). Earn as you learn. Jobs in the skilled trades pay well, are interesting, mobile and in demand. How do I get there? Minimum grade 12 education is recommended with a strong foundation in math, sciences and communications. Students need to find an employer to hire them and register with MTCU. Consider co-op/OYAP opportunities. Pre-apprenticeship programs available at college (gain valuable skills to prepare for apprenticeship).

College bound? Why choose College? You enjoy practical, hands on experiences. Career-focused, 1 to 4 year programs (certificates, diplomas, degrees). You learn best when you can put theory into practice. Smaller class sizes and a personal approach. How do I get there? Students require their OSSD. Must have ENG4CI or ENG4UI plus any other program specific requirements (ie. math, sciences, additional senior courses at college level or higher). Degrees require university requirements. Check out www.ontariocolleges.ca for program information. Students apply electronically by Feb. 1st of their grade 12 year.

Community living Why Choose Community Living? You are studying at the ACTIVE and Community Living level with specialized learning needs. You are continuing to develop literacy, numeracy, daily life and work skills. How do I Get there? A Transition Plan (part of the IEP) is developed in consultation with the student, parents, teachers, support staff and community agencies to identify and pursue community options available to support the student’s transition from school. WCDSB’s Community Transition Support Worker will meet with families to ensure connections are made in the community to develop a whole life plan for students needing support.

University bound? Why choose University? You enjoy academic and theoretical learning. You are an independent, self-directed learner. You have specific career goals that require a university degree. How do I get there? Students require their OSSD. Must have ENG4UI plus 5 other grade 12 U or M courses including program specific requirements. Check out www.electronicinfo.ca for program information and expected grade cut-offs. Students apply electronically by January of their grade 12 year.

Workplace bound? Why choose Work? You want to develop employability skills and experience. Earn wages and explore careers. A number of workplaces provide employee training & courses. How do I get there? Students generally require their OSSD to join the workforce. Consider building your resume through part-time work, volunteering, SHSM, co-curricular and co-op opportunities throughout high school.

What do you need to earn your OSSD? 30 credits (18 compulsory and 12 elective) Complete the provincial literacy requirement Complete and submit 40 hours of community service Make sure you have your Group Requirements met (part of the 18 compulsory) GROUP ONE: 1 additional credit in English, or French as a second language** or a Native language, or a classical or an international language or social sciences and the humanities or Canadian and world studies, or guidance and career education or cooperative education. GROUP TWO: 1 additional credit in health and physical education or the arts or business studies or French as a second language** or cooperative education*** GROUP THREE: 1 additional credit in science (grade 11 or 12) or technological education or French as a second language** or computer studies or cooperative education***

What are my opportunities/ who do I want to become Eleven up presentation Review IPP (Individual Pathway Plan) Research post-secondary opportunities Begin course selection Align courses chosen for next year to research

What are my opportunities/who do I want to become Continue to research your identified pathway(s) and program pre-requisites. If looking at American Colleges and Out of Province schools, ensure course requirements have been met and seek out application deadlines – they are typically earlier than Ontario’s. For American schools, check out the SAT information, at www.collegeboard.org. Also, check out the ACT information at www.actstudent.org. If you are an athlete looking to compete in the NCAA, speak to your community coaches for ideas. Check out www.ncaa.org. Ontario university athletes refer to www.oua.ca ; Ontario college athletes refer to www.ocaa.com . Focus on your marks – Grade 11 marks count! Individual pathway planning with guidance.

What are my opportunities/Who do I want to Become This summer continue to do your research! Think of a plan A and a plan B to reach your goals. Communicate your plan with your family. If heading to Post-secondary, make sure you have the requirements and consider visiting colleges/universities. If heading to work or apprenticeship, research grants. Make a plan to fund post-secondary. Finish community service hours. Make a plan for scholarship applications. Consider creating an Achievement Resume outlining high school and community involvement. Check out the Monsignor Doyle website - Guidance section http://doyle.wcdsb.ca/student%20services/guidance/index.html

WHAT IS MY PLAN FOR ACHIEVING MY GOALS? Guidance counsellors meet with college and university bound students to review the application process. Sign up for college and university liaison visits Attend Open Houses at post-secondary institutions. Go to College Information Program and University Information Program sessions. Sign up for apprenticeship session in guidance to hear a speaker from board office/MTCU speak. Focus on grades. Consider your finances….research bursary and scholarship opportunities, post-secondary application fees and talk to family. Sign up for scholarship session. All students will meet individually with a Guidance counsellor to review your individual pathway plan (IPP).

WHAT IS MY PLAN FOR ACHIEVING MY GOALS? Apply to college and university by Christmas holidays. Applications to colleges and universities are on line (OCAS colleges and OUAC for universities) and are fee based. Focus on grades. Complete any required admission information forms (AIFs) and any supplemental requests (resumes, portfolios, interviews, information session, testing…). Be sure to check the due dates for these requests! Continue open house visits to interested post-secondary institutions. Continue to work on resume development critical for all pathways.

WHAT IS MY PLAN FOR ACHIEVING MY GOALS? Ensure all community service hours are submitted (colleges and universities do receive this information) and looks great on your resume. Review your grades submitted to OCAS and OUAC. Respond to offers of admission (should hear in May). Plan for deposits required to your post secondary institution. Zoom into the Workplace Conference for students entering into the workforce directly from high school. Get your resumes out. Visit local employment agencies for job support (Lutherwood, Cambridge Career Connections). Keep grades up right to the end. Sign-up for an OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) presentation.

WHAT IS MY PLAN FOR ACHIEVING MY GOALS? Students need to ensure all post secondary requests and graduation requirements are met. Ensure financial plan is in place (communicate plan with family). Celebrate your hard work!
