CONTENT ELABORATION
An individual’s interests, knowledge, and abilities can affect career and job choice.
In grade four, students looked at saving portions of income for individual financial well-being and the role of the entrepreneur.
At this level, students build on that understanding by investigating the level of knowledge, skills, and experiences required for various jobs and careers:
knowledge (e.g., degree, certification, license);
skills (e.g., technical, entrepreneurial); and
experiences (e.g., entry-level jobs, internship, apprenticeship, life).
EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING
