Programs

CAREERS: The Next Generation offers a variety of programs for students to explore their career options. From programs leading to apprenticeship to more casual career exploration through summer camps, we connect students to opportunities that work for them. 

We focus on identifying sectors with skilled worker shortages and develop and promote our programs accordingly.

CAREERS currently offers internships and career camps in these skill areas:

Health Services

CAREERS partners with Alberta Health and Wellness and Alberta Health Services to provide valuable internship opportunities for students interested in the health sector. We also partner with health and post-secondary organizations to offer a four-day camp for students to explore many health occupations in a short time.

Industrial Technologies

CAREERS is expanding our reach to industrial technologies with two pilot programs in production field operation and power engineering. These programs are currently available in select areas of Alberta where need is high. We also run a power engineering camp.

Trades

CAREERS supports Alberta Education's Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), which allows high school students to begin their trades apprenticeship while working toward graduation. We also offer a trades program for recent high school graduates and a trades and technology camp.

Together, these areas represent over 250 possible occupations and endless possibilities for a student's career path.
