Pathways to Success

Ontario schools implement and support the Creating Pathways to Success program with goals of:

• ensure that students develop the knowledge and skills they need to make informed education and career/life choices through the effective application of a four-step inquiry process;
• provide opportunities for this learning both in and outside the classroom; and
• engage parents and the broader community in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the program, to support students in their learning.

MyBluePrint

MyBluePrint offers an internet-based education, career and life planning tool which guides students in developing their Individual Pathway Plan.  It includes several activities to help students explore their skills and interests, possible careers, various opportunities, and diverse pathways.
