Hello Grade 9 Families,

 

This is a community launch to introduce the IB Career-Related Programme (IBCP) to all prospective students and their families in our region. This is a brand-new academic offering as Cole Harbour District High (CHDH) will be the 7th public school in Canada to offer a fully authorized IBCP Programme.

The event will take place on Thursday, December 11th, between 7:00 and 9:00 PM at Cole Harbour District High School. They are excited to offer this information session as an opportunity to engage with the community, introduce the IBCP Programme, and explore our two career-related pathways. The two pathways they will be presenting are:

  • Pathway #1: Business & Project Management
  • Pathway #2: Marine Systems & Sustainability

They are also pleased to announce that our guest speakers for the event will be:

  • Dr. Vurain Tabvuma, Dean of Programs and Full Professor of Management at the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University.
  • Dr. Sherry Scully, Principal Consultant at SES Consulting Workforce and Research.

They will share valuable insights into these rapidly emerging, well-paying local career opportunities and the benefits of career-focused education.

Attached is a promotional invitation which provides further details about the event, including a QR code linking to the CHDHS IBCP website, and highlights the benefits for students. They believe this event will be highly valuable for families seeking dynamic, career-focused academic options for their children. This is a massive step for students in our region, and CHDH are building the blueprint for new future-focused academic offerings to HRCE students.
