Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) is an optional program that allows students to explore their interests and passions as they learn about various career possibilities and occupational areas. The CTF Program of Studies is based on 14 learning outcomes that identify what students are expected to learn and what will be assessed, and are the same for grades 5 to 9. The CTF curriculum honours student diversity, and promotes the meaningful and authentic exploration of various occupational areas. This curriculum supports programming decisions at the local level (e.g., time, resources, instructional approaches, assessment, reporting and organization for instruction). This is to ensure that CTF courses are responsive to the needs of students, teachers, schools and communities.
