Vocational Education Program

The vocational program at The Foundation Schools is designed to help students develop the skills they need to make a successful transition to employment and/or post-secondary education/training upon graduation. The integration of vocational and academic content is the core of our comprehensive program. Through this integration, students gain a better understanding of the interrelationship between knowledge, skill, performance, and work. The school-based learning component of our program focuses on areas relating to career development, employability, work maturity, and the acquisition of job-related skills. With the support of the vocational education teacher, the student applies his academic knowledge and vocational skills to meet on-the-job requirements. On-the-job training (OJT) is also used to develop specific skills and provide general industry knowledge. Through OJT, employers can measure the student’s quality of work and give them constructive feedback concerning their potential for successful employment in the field.
