I am an adult, how can I get my diploma?
If you are 18 and have been out of school for at least a year, you are eligible to obtain an Adult 12. Under the Adult 12 Policy, an adult may attain a Grade 12 standing by successfully completing 7 credit classes. Prerequisite requirements are waived for adults. Credits may be attained by taking the course from a Saskatchewan secondary school, by correspondence, or a Saskatchewan post-secondary institution approved to offer secondary level courses. Adults also have the option of challenging a departmental examination.
Compulsory courses for Adult 12 (secondary completion) are:
English Language Arts A 30 and English Language Arts B 30;
One Canadian Studies course (History 30, Native Studies 30, or Social Studies 30)
One level 20 or level 30 mathematics;
One level 20 or level 30 science;
Two electives at level 30 (one may be Prior Learning 30).
Credits obtained through the K-12 system may be transferred to the Adult 12 program.
I am not sure what I want to do when I finish school. How can I find out what kinds of jobs are available that someone like me would be interested in?
You need to think about who you are, and how your personal characteristics, skills and talents might influence what will make you happy. Remember, when you love your job, it never feels like you are going to work! Think about what is important to you. Do you like working with people? Young people or elderly people? Do you like working with your hands? Do you want to work outside or inside? (Think about the great summers we have, but also about the not so balmy winters!) Are you happy doing the same thing all the time, or is variety important to you? Is it important for you to be close to friends and family, or would it be OK to travel around the province or country?
There are a number of tools on the Internet that you can use to help you match up your interests, aptitudes and abilities with occupations.
A really good starting point is the iQuizzes site, Located HERE
There are six quizzes on this site: Abilities Quiz, Data-People-Things Quiz, Work Preference Quiz, Work Values Quiz, Multiple Intelligence Quiz and a Seeing-Hearing-Doing Quiz. Besides these quizzes, there are a number of links to other similar sites that can help you see what kinds of occupations are a good match for you
Where can I find out about the programs offered at different post-secondary institutions, how do I know what courses I need to take for them, and how do I apply?
