These classes are designed to give students information and experience in the several major fields of work and employment forming the mainstream of our employment picture in Saskatchewan. Parents and students must not think of these classes as pre-employment training classes which fully prepare the student for employment, but rather should see these courses as part of the student's general education which helps to create a full awareness of the processes and options which exist in our culture. Some students do obtain employment after high school using the skills developed from these classes; others go on to technical institutes and/or universities; others go into trade apprenticeship programs. In any case the student's progress is accelerated and made easier by high school preparation classes. In fact one of the very important purposes of such career-oriented skill classes is to help students make a more informed and more satisfying career choice.
The Technical Education Department encompasses the following subjects: auto body repair, mechanics, cosmetology, commercial cooking, wood construction, drafting, electricity, machining, welding, photography, communications production technology and career and work exploration.
Here is how the program is organized:
1. General interest: All of the grade 9 and 10 Tech-Ed courses will supply this need; it will better equip the student with elementary knowledge and skills for living in our technological society.
2. In-depth study: All of the grade 11 and 12 Tech-Ed courses require grade 10 courses as prerequisites. These grade 10 courses, as well as being general interest, are also introductory in nature to the more specific, in-depth study of the grade 11 and 12 courses. Development of the knowledge and skills at the grade 11 and 12 levels will enable the student to launch into a career in the various technological fields as well as into many trades. Most technologies and trades require further education after grade 12 by enrolling in apprenticeship programs and/or attending one of the technical schools in Western Canada. Students who take a significant number of classes in a particular trade area and who want to pursue that trade through apprenticeship may apply for “internship” through the career and work exploration class.

AUTO BODY - Auto Body 10, 20, 30 are competency based courses. This means that each task or unit must be completed to an acceptable level of competency or completion before credit will be given for it. The curriculum that is implemented is provided by I-CAR. The I-CAR Industry Training Alliance exists to recognize the accomplishments of students’ training through approved training providers. All programs approved for inclusion into the Industry Training Alliance must support the I-CAR Vision that every person in the collision industry, current and future, has the necessary knowledge and skills relevant to their position to achieve a complete and safe repair. After successful completion of the program and application, Gold Class points can be awarded to students upon successful completion of Alliance programs. These points apply to both the Gold Class Professionals and Platinum Individual programs. The Alliance also recognizes training programs from training providers and career and technical schools and colleges participating in the program. Gold Class points can now be awarded to those students who receive technical training from Alliance members.

The course is divided into two parts. The “in-class” component will focus on job skills necessary to be successful in a job, and exploration of interests and aptitudes necessary for appropriate job choices. The second part is a placement in a local business. The placement will be arranged during hours which are mutually agreeable between the supervising employer, the student and the instructor.
**A new opportunity within the career and work exploration course is “student internship”. This new initiative is aimed at students who have made a career decision. The internship attempts to match a student with an employer for possible permanent employment. Successful applicants for the internship will be eligible for 2 ‘30’ level credits.
