State of the art programs and facilities are developed at the Centre, including  World Skills equipment and technology.

For more information on courses offered through the CTS program, visit our Career and Technology course list page.

The CTS program is designed to develop skills that senior high school students can apply in their daily lives when preparing for entry into the workplace or for further learning opportunities. Through the CTS program, students are provided with opportunities to personalize their learning, identify and explore their interests, manage transitions and build partnerships while developing basic competencies, that is, the attitudes and behaviours that people need to participate and progress in today’s dynamic world of work. The intention of the CT Centre is to broaden the notion of CTS as it relates to post secondary and the world of work.
