Owen Sound District Secondary School

Career Development

In the guidance office we assist students in their career development. This process begins in grade nine and continues through to grade twelve. The beginning stages may include personal discovery through self-assessment activities and developing employability skills. Students then begin to chart their future and begin to explore various career paths including post secondary education, apprenticeships or straight to the working world. The following web-sites may assist students in this process.

• Working in Canada


• Ontario School Counsellors' Association


• Human Resources and Skills Development Canada


• Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities


• www.careercruising.com



Career Cruising is a career resource designed for people of all ages. It will allow you to find the right career, explore different career options, or plan future education and training.
