Bonnie Alexander, SD61 Career Education Coordinator

Children begin shaping their ideas about work long before high school. By connecting students with a diverse range of people and professions, we open their eyes to what’s possible, and remind them that they can’t be what they can’t see.

The SD61 Pathways & Partnerships team is dedicated to bringing the world of work to life. Through engaging initiatives like Guess My Job and Redraw the Balance, and the creation of BC curriculum-aligned Career Explorer Workbooks, we help students imagine bold futures and see their own potential reflected in others.

The future demands empathetic, innovative, and collaborative thinkers. By equipping schools with Tool Trolleys and Maker Centres, we’re empowering teachers to spark curiosity, nurture creativity, and give students the hands-on experiences that turn ideas into possibilities.
