    Course Selection

    In this episode of Tune In YRDSB, we’re talking about choosing courses and pathway planning — helping students make sense of course selection and what it means for their future. Joined by YRDSB’s Transitions and Pathways team, Janani, Elvira and Carina, they explore how to approach course selection like a "buffet" of opportunities rather than a checklist. They discuss the breakdown of compulsory and optional credits, how to use myBlueprint for backwards planning, and the value of experiential learning programs like Co-op, OYAP, SHSM, and Dual Credit. You’ll also hear practical advice on using "Who Am I" surveys to discover your strengths and how to develop the transferable skills employers are looking for. Tune in and feel supported in making informed decisions for your educational goals.
