Nutana Collegiate is proud to be a leader and innovator in career development initiatives for youth.  This priority has been long established at Nutana and has resulted in our designation as the first CATT (Canadian Academy of Travel and Tourism) Gold School in Saskatchewan and our own two academies:  Academy of Tourism; Academy of Career and Experiential Learning.  We have staff in career facilitation roles throughout the entire school year who promote career fairs, visits to post-secondary facilities, work placements, volunteer opportunities, apprenticeship exploration and paid employment positions.

Partnerships with community agencies strengthen the career pathways that are available to students at Nutana.  A full time career and employment consultant from CanSask work at Nutana Collegiate  The school division's IDA (Individual Development Accounts) Program has its home and coordinator at Nutana.  A new iJob program started in the fall of 2007 offers transition programming to students who need something different than a traditional high school credit program.  iJob is funded in cooperation with the Saskatchewan Ministries of Education, Advanced Education, Employment and Labour and Social Services.  Students at our school also benefit from frequent programs offered by STEC (Saskatchewan Tourism Education Council).

These are only a few of the highlights of the career pathways offered at Nutana Collegiate.  Come visit us to find out more!

 

The best thing about the tourism program is that it's all up to you; you choose the breakdown of the hours you need between volunteering and work experience.

By going to Prince Albert National park I was able to get out of the city and experience learning about wildlife and species I didn't know about. 

 

Now that I've got an apprenticeship passport I get 300 hours credited towards journeyperson papers and free tuition for my first course.  I looked up underwater welding and learned about the dangers, safety precautions and steps you have to take, what you would earn, and where you would work around the world.

I like Wildlife Management because you're outdoors.  It's more hands on; it beats being in a classroom.

 I like being outside better.  Not everybody gets

to go up north to Waskesiu!

 

A job shadow is a pretty good experience.

You know what to expect if you go into that career.
