As a collaboration between Parkland School Division and the Greater Parkland Chamber of Commerce, the Career Explorations Summer Institute is an opportunity for students to experience various technical courses and Career and Technology Studies (CTS) modules, giving them a brief look at a variety of trade or technology areas or a more intense exploration of one trade or technology area.
Career Explorations students will choose from a large number of potential experiences and explore each as long as time allows and depending on their chosen area of focus.
Dates & Times:
- July 4 - July 19 (excluding weekends); exact times to be determined
All Career Explorations courses are worth 3-7 credits (depending on the area of exploration) and are delivered at various locations in Spruce Grove and the surrounding areas. Students will need to be dropped off and picked up from their course's primary location for the duration of Summer School.
Career Explorations students will also have the opportunity to learn from Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) staff about careers available in the trades (including information specific to their chosen area of focus), the advantages of and requirements for studying at a polytechnic, and how to apply there for post-secondary.
Please Note: The Trade Explorations course is open to students who have completed Grade 8; however, students entering Grade 9 in 2023-2024 will NOT receive high school credit.
