The skills and competencies that students acquire through the guidance and career education program outlined in Ontario's "Choices Into Action, 1999" will not only help students succeed in school, but will also contribute to their success in the workplace. Throughout their secondary school education, students will learn about the educational and career opportunities that are available to them; explore and evaluate a variety of those opportunities; relate what they learn in their courses to potential careers in a variety of fields; and learn to make appropriate educational and career choices.
To this end, the Virtual High School (Ontario):
- clearly states competencies for students in each subject;
- provides a range of career exploration activities within each curriculum;
- prepares an annual education plan for each student;
- provides a teacher-advisor program through our Think Tank website;
- provides to both students and teachers, individual assistance and short-term counseling;
- provides program of study advice;
- has created a program effectiveness survey;
- has developed a Cooperative Education and School to Work Transition Program;
- has established and provides to students a Library Resource Centre on Career Education.
