Overview
Identify a realistic, achievable career goal and make a plan to reach it with the Career and Employment Preparation (CAEP) program. If you have had barriers to employment, this program is designed for you. Learn how to use your skills and abilities to choose a career and build your self-confidence to enter the workforce or pursue further training.
You’ll learn practical stress- and time-management techniques, how to communicate directly and effectively, and have the opportunity to practise study and note-taking skills. A four-week work placement related to your career goals will help you integrate the skills you have practised in the classroom. Test your ideas, gather information, gain exposure to worksites and graduate with job-ready skills.
International students are not currently eligible for this program. For more information, contact Douglas College International.
