About Us:
Sea to Sky Career Education (SSCE) offers three different programs for high school students looking to gain valuable work experience or an apprenticeship while acquiring high school and post-secondary credits. SSCE programs give youth the opportunity to try out different trades or work environments to get a head start on their career.
Department Vision:
Career Education programs in SD48 complement the Career Education K-12 curriculum. Our goal is to provide our students with real-world, relevant and purposeful work-based learning experiences through a personalized and engaging environment with community and industry partners.
