YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

A SATISFYING CAREER

  
Once you have selected the path you wish to follow after graduation from secondary school, your dream is to find yourself in one of the following situations. If so, you will have embarked on a journey which should make you a very happy person. 
           
UNIVERSITY If your choice after high school was to attend university.....
You will have successfully completed your degree program and find yourself  employed in a position that allows you to use the training you received from your university education to further your career. You are definitely happy with your situation.
  
COMMUNITY
COLLEGE
If your choice after high school was to attend Community College...
You will have successfully completed your diploma program and have found employment where you are using the skills you developed at college to further your career. You are definitely happy with your situation.
  
PRIVATE
CAREER
COLLEGE
If your choice after high school was to attend a private career college like CTS Canadian Career Colleges...
You will have successfully completed your diploma or certificate program and have found employment where you are using the skills you developed at college to further your career development.  This is a less used "path" for most secondary school students, but in recent years those numbers are steadily increasing because most graduates of private career colleges are definitely happy with their resulting situation.
  
APPRENTICESHIP If your choice after high school was to enter into an Apprenticeship program...
You will have successfully completed your apprenticeship program and passed your industry certification. This is becoming more and more popular as secondary school students become aware of the tremendous need for skilled trades workers in the marketplace today. 
  
WORK If your choice after high school was to enter into an Apprenticeship program...
You are employed on a full-time basis. While this is not usually noted as one of the recommended paths, since over 70% of all jobs on the market today require some form of post-secondary training, a relatively large percentage of students do go directly to work after they finish high school. In your case you will have found a job that is perfect for you, pays you well and has plenty of opportunity for advancement. You are very satisfied with your results.
