Mentorship
Building on the mentorship with your Careers 10 - 12 teachers, seek feedback from your Career Coordinator, family and friends as your prepare for your Capstone. Here is the KSS Career Mentorship Google Sign up form for any student having difficulty deciding/finding a Job Shadow.
Step 1: Investigate which pathway you believe would be the most interesting for you to put this intense research into.
Step 2: Find a mentor that you are able to complete a Job Shadow, Career Interview OR an Indigenous Elder Experience with OR use the KSS Job Shadow Booklet to find an area of interest that we could help you book a Job Shadow with. Step 3: Book your Job Shadow with your Mentor or the KSS Career Center. Step 4: Complete all of the paperwork found on the next page of this section. Step 5: Provide evidence of your Job Shadow, Career Interview OR an Indigenous Elder Experience completion on your CAPSTONE Google Slide Show. |
Every school district #23 student will graduate with the attributes, credentials and experiences to connect their career life plan with their individual talents and passions in pursuit of a balanced, meaningful life. In order to ensure that every KSS student experiences these connections to their career life plane, it is mandatory for graduates to have completed a KSS Job Shadow and/or a Career Interview Questionnaire. Please ensure that you have a completed copy/photo of at least one of the following forms for your CAPSTONE Presentation.

Our district and school goals are to provide as many experiences as possible for our students, with particular emphasis on authentic career research.
Our district has identified that these experiences would be:

- Job Shadows – these would be district approved experiences…students must connect with Ms. Gross regarding these opportunities.
- Virtual Job Shadows – these are new to our district in light of our current environment…students would connect with Ms. Gross.
- Indigenous Elder Experiences – these are new to our school and Mr. Sodaro will continue to work with our Indigenous Education Department on these.
- Career Spotlights – these will be offered to students in a variety of ways, including in person/zoom here at KSS or visits to UBCO/OUC, etc…
All of these Career Life Mentorship Experiences would be considered authentic career research, which meets the district and ministry goals for our graduating students.
