Alberta Regional Professional Development Consortia (ARPDC) CTS Professional Development Website
Career and Technology Studies (CTS) is a complementary program designed for Alberta’s secondary school students. As a program of choice, CTS offers all students important learning opportunities to:
- develop skills that can be applied in their daily lives, now and in the future
- refine career-planning skills
- develop technology-related skills
- enhance employability skills
- apply and reinforce learnings developed in other subject areas
- prepare for transition into adult roles in the family, community, workplace and/or further education.
The course structure of CTS enables schools to design unique programs that meet the needs of students and take advantage of community resources. Developed across levels rather than grades, CTS has multiple entry points and provides secondary students with access to a common curriculum. CTS recognizes prior learning from formal schooling and personal initiatives.
With over 800 members accessing online CTS professional development by teachers across the province, this site has become the portal for CTS resources! The resources have been updated and include the capability of threaded discussions, along with the ability to upload and share resources in each of the Cluster/Courses. Come back often to the site as it is updated
periodically with new information on the CTS program. You can leave a question in our chat area, or find an answer on our subject specific pages.
We give permission to access this site and use all CTS materials available. Continue to spread the word and invite your colleagues to check out this CTS area.
