Career-related Programme (CP)
Program Rationale
We are aiming to prepare learners 16-19 for the increased demands by both university/colleges and employers for internationally minded young adults. In order for the Canada to thrive in the global economy of the 21st century and be able to embrace unknown challenges, your generation will need to have certain attributes besides subject knowledge and skills. The IB Career-related Programme provides both the breadth and flexibility that students want and will develop qualities that university/colleges and employers need.
In a (global) multicultural society, it is essential that students preparing for employment (directly or after university/college) develop a good understanding of world issues and contexts and an understanding of their responsibilities as global citizens. The IBCP prepares students for flexibility and mobility in a range of employment opportunities as well as for lifelong learning.
The IBCP’s flexible educational framework allows schools to meet the needs, backgrounds and contexts of students. Each school creates its own distinctive version of the IBCP. The IB CP consists of academic and vocational courses, supported by the Core. It is the Core, which will make the difference and will prepare learners for challenges and opportunities during their career.
