Many Ontario high school students face a daunting question: what to do after graduation? Choosing a career path from among the endless - and expensive - possibilities may be a challenge. Then, with thousands of post-secondary programs offered in Ontario, figuring out the what, where, when and how of program options, applications, student loans, scholarships, housing and offers of acceptance can be dizzying! High school guidance departments no longer have the resources to spend quality time in individual counselling, often leaving students confused and their families in the dark.This comprehensive guidebook presents information on career exploration and the examination of personal interests and attributes that will help students make suitable initial career choices. It then describes the variety of post-secondary routes available in Ontario, the application process, settling into post-secondary life, and re-evaluating if it's not working out as expected. Links to probe for further details are abundant throughout the text, and questions are posed along the way for both students and parents to consider in making decisions about the transition to post-secondary life. Written in clear and accessible terms, with details, notes and insights to consider in examining all the options, this guidebook will support students and their families as they launch into the next stage of their life journeys.
