RVS Career Learning Framework
The approaches embedded in RVS Career Learning Practice Guide can be understood through an EXPLORE, ENGAGE and EXPERIENCE framework.
Staff will support students to EXPLORE a broad spectrum of careers. Students will be guided in recognizing their individual preferences and aptitudes, enabling them to make choices about potential career paths.
Staff will facilitate opportunities for students to ENGAGE with community partners who bring career expertise related to curricular content areas, allowing students to acquire knowledge, identify their preferences and develop skills related to career fields.
Staff will design and promote learning opportunities for students to EXPERIENCE authentic, hands-on career-integrated activities, fostering a deep understanding of various career fields.
This framework leads students to make informed decisions so they can CHOOSE their next steps, such as the workforce, skilled trades, post-secondary education or community living
