What are the requirements for graduating from secondary school? How many com- pulsory and optional credits have you earned to date? What are the compulsory courses that you will need to take in Grades 11 and 12?

Who might be able to help you learn more about your pathway options? Who should you consult if things are not working out the way you had hoped?
If you plan to enter the workplace immediately after secondary school, what can you do to keep opportunities open in case you later decide to go on to an apprenticeship or to college or university in order to reach your goals [e.g., choice of secondary school courses, maintaining grade average]?
What factors might require you to change the pathway you take to reach your goal? What are some alternatives to help you get closer to your goals? Why is it important to know that there are multiple pathways to the same goal? And that you can modify your goals without compromising your interests?
