Learners develop an employment portfolio that they can take with them to job interviews. The portfolios contain items such as:

• Certificates they have earned, such as First Aid or CPR
• Their resume, samples of cover letters, their list of reference people, or reference letters
• Documents from their work experience/practicum session
• Progress reports or evaluations.

They are also asked to identify their career partners—those people who have helped them on their career journey. This might include members of their families, work experience supervisors, teachers or career officers. As a result of a suggestion that came out of the Career course, learners developed a collage of the employment opportunities in the Yellowknife area. This involved classifying the different types of jobs into primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary industries.

In May 2004, 10 learners, along with their instructors, travelled by bus to visit a number of post-secondary institutions in Alberta. They toured the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT), Fairview College, Grand Prairie College, Grant McEwan College, and the University of Alberta. Their tour was sponsored by a number of local businesses and organizations. Learners kept a budget for the trip. This event helped learners understand what options for further education might be open to them and their families.
