Workplace Pathway

What kinds of jobs are available after secondary school?

A wide variety of careers require a secondary school diploma, followed by specific on-the-job training or entry-level positions from secondary school including: real estate agents, animal care workers, bank tellers, photographers, web site designers, construction labourers.

About 50% of secondary school students go directly into the world of work, but often decide to pursue an apprenticeship, college or university training at a later time.

Various programs in KPDSB provide opportunities for students to meet initial requirements for entering specific industries, allowing them to make a successful transition from school to the workplace.

You may be interested in work if:

• You have developed practical workplace skills that have prepared you for a specific career without needing to pursue college, university, or an apprenticeship first
• You have been successful in workplace pathway courses and wish to explore workplace opportunities
  You may wish to defer further post-secondary education until later
• You have specific career goals in mind that allow you to go directly to the workplace for on-the-job training
