A pathway is a selection of courses to give students the opportunity to explore and acquire the attitudes, skills and knowledge for a career that is relevant to their interests. Pathways support goals that may include university, college, apprentice training, or moving directly into the workforce. Teachers and students can select and combine CTS courses to create pathways for exploration, specialization and credentialing.
Credentialed Pathways are a series of specific courses selected to provide opportunities for students to achieve a credential or credit awarded by a recognized community or industry organization or post-secondary institution; e.g., Welder, A+ Certification Computer Repair Technician.
Note: All credential/journeyperson opportunities are external to Alberta Education, and it is the responsibility of the student/teacher/school to ensure that the requirements of the credentialing organization have been addressed.
Specialized skill pathways are a collection of courses selected to address student interests in a field of study; e.g., Event Planner, Outdoor Guide, Court Clerk.
Skills Canada Alberta competitions take place annually and provide opportunities for students to participate in competitions related to trade and technology-based careers. Schools may encourage and support student participation at the school, city, province and/or national level. This is a listing of specialized skill pathways that could help facilitate student success at Skills Canada Alberta competitions.
