Career Planning

What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a question that you start hearing when you’re young, and can take a while to figure out.
To help you think about your interests and ambitions, and where they can lead, the Peel board has created a section called Making My Way:
- find information on education and work options after high school
- explore career choices and educational requirements in different sectors
- use interactive education planning tools
- learn about the courses you’ll need to reach your goals, and programs like co-op education
- view special presentations for students in grade 7 and grade 8
- take a test to help you identify what you’re all about and how you learn
