Career-Related Programme

This required course develops students’ transferable skills so that they may apply what they have learned into the real world. In this class, students continue to study how to become better communicators, problem solvers and collaborators. They also delve into the ethical issues of their career-related study.

Student continue to explore the intrinsic rewards of helping others through this aspect of the core. During this time, students will be provided with opportunities that help them understand how the skills they have learned in both their DP and ATC classes are relevant and important to the community. Having students undertake these experiences will help them develop “local knowledge, civic responsibility, social aptitude and personal growth.” (Core Guide, IBO, 2012)

As in the Middle Years Program, students registered for the Career Program will study another language in order to become more internationally-aware. Students can choose to prolong their studies in the foreign language they have already studied, or, if they have fulfilled graduation requirements, choose IBCC language development class created specifically for this program.
