Back to School

Now that students are back in class and returning to some degree of normality, the looming question remains for high school students… what career do I see myself in? This is the time of year when students contemplate what life after high school will look like and what post-secondary options will get them where they want to be.

There are many options and career choices available for students but understanding what you are good at and what interests you is a great starting point.
