Guide to Career and Technology Studies (CTS)

KAE—CTS Connection Charts

 

The following charts identify the CTS occupational areas/courses in which students enrolled in K&E courses will most likely be successful in transferring the skills they have developed through the occupational courses at the 10–4, 20–4 and 30–4 levels. They do not indicate equivalency. Students enrolled in K&E courses wishing to receive credit in CTS courses must meet all outcomes set for each CTS course.

 

Assessment of the prior learning of students enrolled in K&E courses results in better identification of these students’ K&E entry-level knowledge, skills and attitudes as they relate to the CTS general outcomes. The levels of competency of students enrolled in K&E courses can be assessed using the challenge provision outlined in the Guide to Education: ECS to Grade 12.

 

The following charts can also help teachers who run concurrent K&E/CTS programs to plan appropriately to meet the needs of students in each program.

 

The CTS courses specified in these charts:

  • include concepts introduced within the related K&E occupational courses
  • emphasize considerable hands-on learning with limited emphasis on theory
  • support workplace entry.

Note: Students who wish to make the transition to CTS courses should be informed of program differences in expectations and learning environments.
