Who is listening
Ministry of Education
Input received
From November 21 to December 15, 2022, Albertans shared their perspectives with the task force by completing an online survey and participating in online and in-person engagement sessions and stakeholder meetings.
The task force used this input to help inform recommendations for government and develop a framework for future programming.
Outcomes
In April 2023, the task force submitted the Career Education Task Force Final Report to the Minister of Education. The report was developed after a comprehensive review and engagement with education partners, business and industry stakeholders, and Albertans.
Recommendations
The report includes recommendations to strengthen career education programming, supports, and accessibility. Government will be moving ahead with 5 recommendations, while evaluating the remaining recommendations for future consideration:
- increasing ease of access to off-campus education for all students regardless of where they attend school
- reviewing dual credit programming to remove financial, accessibility and awareness barriers
- developing and funding teacher training opportunities for career and technology studies and career and technology foundations
- developing and promoting career education scholarships for students
- enhancing how career education programming is measured and evaluated
Over the coming weeks, we will work collaboratively with education partners and cross-ministry working groups on the development and implementation of these recommended actions.
Framework
The report includes a provincial framework that sets the direction for future career education development and delivery in Alberta. It highlights 7 desired outcomes for career education programming, including:
- exposing students to a greater breadth of possible careers
- creating opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning in fields of interest
- increasing access to career-related courses and subject matter experts
- increasing access to effective and appropriate career planning support and advice
- creating connections between schools, students, post-secondary institutions and employers
- building student readiness for careers
- ensuring equitable and sustainable funding for programming
The framework also speaks to how career education could be delivered in Alberta, focusing on 3 main principles of exploring, experiencing, and transitioning.
Task force mandate
The task force was established in July 2022 to review career education, with a focus on grades 7 to 12. It engaged with various education, industry and business stakeholders across Alberta to hear a broad range of perspectives. Insights from the engagements and review informed the task force’s work to develop:
- an interim report on engagement activities in February 2023
- a final report with recommendations to strengthen career education programming for students in grades 7 to 12 and employers in March 2023
- a provincial framework to guide future career education programming, including curriculum and funding
