    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    This course is designed to provide participants with an overview of Career Development Education through engagement
    in a critical examination of current research and the major issues, including: curriculum relevancy, a changing global
    economy, current labour market trends, business and labour partnerships, and the emerging role of technology.
    As one of the three goals of education, Career Development facilitates lifelong learning and the acquisition of skills
    needed to meet the challenges of a changing workplace. Strategies will be explored to assist teachers in designing practical
    Career Development (K-12) activities through an integrated curriculum and 'applied academic' approach in the classroom
    and in the workplace. Educators will have the opportunity to investigate a range of exemplary programs and services, such
    as Career Preparation, Cooperative Education, Job Shadowing, Mentoring, Apprenticeship, and other initiatives, at all
    levels of the school system from Primary through Graduation.
    The course is also designed to help participants to develop plans for local initiatives that attempt to address local issues. It
    will be presented in the context of current educational and social policy change and in a climate of increased inclusion of
    students with diverse needs.
