Career Connect Information for Teachers

Mid Coast Connect has the resources teachers need to provide their students with support as they transition from school to career.

As a teacher, part of your role is often helping young people prepare for the next steps in their life. Preparing students for the workforce and finding a career can be challenging. Not all students are preparing to head to university, and finding ways to provide direction to those taking the alternative path can be tricky. We offer a variety of information, resources, support, opportunities, and events to help educators provide direction to their students.
