For Your Students

This rest of this site is a place for young workers, those preparing for their first job and teen volunteers, to discover the rights and responsibilities they have in the workplace. They can also do research through the array of resources and information provided. There's a lot to discover and through programs like TAP, Cooperative Education, other forms of experiential learning, and courses in the Career and Guidance Stream, both intermediate elementary and secondary students will benefit from the wealth of information available.
