What’s Next?
There’s much more to explore at the end of high school other than just post-secondary plans. From getting to know yourself to narrow down a future path of study or career, to preparing for the workforce by understanding the ins and outs of networking and mentorships, it can be an overwhelming time. But don’t fear, help is right here!
Get to Know Yourself
The first step in trying to decide what path of study or careers would interest you is to learn more about yourself. Explore these resources on what it means to “Find your Spark” and try out a self-assessment to discover your strengths, personality type and what your interests can help you accomplish in life.
Planning for Post-Secondary
With 46 post-secondary institutions in Ontario alone (22 Universities and 24 Colleges) the choice of where to study is seemingly endless. Learn more about the process of applying to these institutions and access resources that can help you make tough decisions.
Other Options
While college and university can seem like the only options for your post-secondary journey, there are actually a lot more available to you than you may think. Check out the ones on What’s Your Path, including information on gap year opportunities, internships, job shadowing, apprenticeships and volunteerism to start planning.
How to Network
Networking is about building and maintaining connections with people, which could lead to a win-win relationship in the future. It’s an important asset that when developed from a young age, can help you when moving into post-secondary.
Mentoring
A mentor is meant to support and encourage you so you can maximize your potential, develop skills, improve performance and become the person you want to be. They can help you learn more about a career, or more about yourself.
