Career Education
From the moment our students enter the first day of kindergarten through to graduation, students have the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths. Our programs, resources, and networking opportunities, provide an opportunity for students to imagine their future possibilities.
The North Vancouver School District offers a dedicated website where students can explore upcoming career and educational opportunities. Check back regularly for the latest events and updates. For more details on any listed opportunities, visit Mrs. Knapp in the Work Experience office. Explore the site
HERE.The North Vancouver School District’s priorities for Career Education include:
1) Career development course opportunities for all students;
2) Enhancing work experience placements; and
3) Dual credit program options.
At Seycove, students enrolled in this 4-credit course will complete 90 hours of work experience at a job site relevant to their interests. They receive support in finding placements that align with their career goals while also developing essential job-seeking skills, including:
- Resume building and the importance of cover letters and thank-you letters
- Workplace safety and employability skills
- Interview preparation and decision-making strategies
Work Experience Opportunities
Students gain valuable insight into various careers through:
✔ Hands-on work experience (business, government, self-employed, non-profit, or volunteer organizations)
✔ Job shadowing a professional
✔ Career mentoring with an industry expert
✔ Career simulation activities (e.g., Fire Fighters Career Day)
Most placements are school-arranged and unpaid, but they often lead to apprenticeships or future job opportunities.
