The K-12 aim for Career Education is to enable ALL Saskatchewan students to develop essential skills and career management competencies to assist them in achieving their potential as they construct their personal life and work career.” (Career Education Saskatchewan Curriculum, Ministry of Education).
A holistic view of the term ‘career’ involves taking into consideration various aspects of one’s life such as identity, values, interests, skills, knowledge, goals, and experiences while also acknowledging the importance of areas such as wellbeing, sense of purpose, etc. which continually evolve as a person grows.
This is a collection of resources to support exploring career opportunities. Career Exploration can be integrated into various subjects and activities across the curriculum. The goal of infused career exploration is to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to better understand themselves and make informed decisions about their preferred futures.

(5) PoliTalks - supports educators in bringing political discussions to the classroom - Materials are free with registration, and programming is designed for grades 5-12
