Career development is the process through which a student gains the self-awareness, experience and skills that will help make a successful transition from school to work. In order to do this, a student must actively seek advice, resources and experience outside of the classrooms. This could mean connecting with industry professionals, meeting with a career advisor, and/or gaining meaningful work/volunteer experience. As a labour market becomes increasingly competitive, it is important that we encourage and acknowledge the students who invest their time and energy into the career development process. Through this award, we can help provide a financial incentive and pragmatic support for students to pursue the former experience.

• Demonstrate a commitment to career development such as:

• Job shadowing
