Description:
|
Career and College Preparation provides the environment and resources for adults to acquire the knowledge necessary for successful entry into the labour market, advancement in careers, or entry into further specialized training.
Independent, self-directed learning is encouraged.
Career and College Preparation Fundamental Level
This is the level (approximately grade eight) at which students may enter adult basic education. Beginning students are expected to have some reading and arithmetic ability. The goals of this level are to assist students to acquire permanent ability in English and arithmetic as well as effective study habits and a love of learning.
Career and College Preparation Intermediate Level
At this level (approximately grade 10), students should be working toward specific career or advanced education goals.
Career and College Preparation Advanced Level
The goals for this level are to provide students with highly portable learning skills and abilities in analytical thinking, mathematics, communications and sciences.
The Advanced Level student is encouraged to discuss career paths with a Recruiter prior to registration and as needed during the term. The College will endeavour to match the study program to individual career goals.
Career and College Preparation Provincial Level
Completion of the Provincial Level satisfies the requirements of the BC Adult Graduation Diploma (Adult Dogwood) with full adult secondary equivalency.
Students completing the Provincial Level have achieved the same level as secondary students who complete grade 12 and are eligible to apply for admission to most post-secondary institutions providing advanced study, including those programs within the College that require the BC Adult Graduation Diploma or grade 12 as prerequisites.
