About Career and Technology Studies (CTS)

Career and Technology Studies:

Evergreen School Division has identified a commitment to, "engage students in learning to become contributing citizens of a democratic society", and recognizes that student learning is enhanced through the formation of partnerships with community sponsors.

The Career and Technology Studies (CTS) strategy encourages students to take an active role in their learning by seeking out community-based work placements that align with their interests and goals. These internships, combined with in-school programming, provide valuable hands-on experience while helping to prepare students for their future careers and contribute to a sustainable future for our communities.

Opportunities Associated With CTS Include:

1. Students have the ability to pursue a Pathway Certificate as a supplement to his or her High School diploma, which expands opportunities for life after graduation.
2. The CTS strategy features an Industrial Technology pathway, a Human Services pathway, and a newly formed Applied Media pathway.
3. Students who seek out Community-based Internships in grade eleven or twelve will earn credits that complement his or her traditional high school programming.
4. Students who seek out an apprenticeship position may also have an opportunity to begin 'trades training' as a registered apprentice in the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP).
