Today’s graduates must be able to adapt to ongoing change in many aspects of their lives. Purposeful career-life development, in which students learn how to set personally meaningful goals, recognize and cultivate relevant opportunities and supportive relationships, and continually re-evaluate and revise their plans, is a necessity for educated citizens in an ever-changing world. Educated citizens are lifelong learners who continually build on their self-awareness about evolving interests and strengths. They are able to use this personal knowledge to inform their career-life choices, responding with flexibility as opportunities and challenges arise. In Grades 10 to 12, students explore and research a multitude of educational, work-related, and life opportunities to develop the knowledge and the personal and social competencies to manage the next steps in their career-life journeys. 

The CLE and CLC learning standards reflect a thorough preparation for students, including: 

• experiential learning and community networking 
• exploration of multiple career-life roles and personal life/work balance 
• flexible planning for preferred post-graduation possibilities • reflection on their learning experiences in school and out of school 
• self-assessment of Core Competency development, including methods of organizing and maintaining authentic career-life evidence 
• incorporation of inclusive practices and First Peoples perspectives/worldviews 
• ideas for deeper learning and open-ended discussions
