The mapping project research sample includes career education and development players in Alberta and key national/international organizations from outside of the province. The primary goal of the project is to map the career development landscape for children and youth in Alberta. Outputs will include lists of all the players in the career education field in Alberta and the related players from outside the province.
Connecting Learning and Work will create stronger links between education and work, and provide better access to career and employment services and programs so Albertans are able to take full advantage of working and learning opportunities in an ever-changing labour market.
Doing well in school usually involves learning to answer questions and carry out assignments developed by the teacher. Students struggle to come up with correct responses on tests- usually in an artificial situation in which they are expected to work alone, without thought. Yet doing well in life requires a very different set of skills- framing questions, planning, organizing, finding and analyzing information, working with others, assembling key resources and tools, testing out ideas, and trying again.
The Alberta Career Education Network works with its members and partners from all constituencies to develop a seamless education, career development and world of work system that arms young people with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.
