If you have a particular career in mind, look for post-secondary schools which offer training in that career. For example, if you are interested in a business career, check out various business programs. Both public and private schools offer business programs. If you are thinking of a nursing career, look into programs offered by hospitals and universities.

Some post-secondary schools offer work experience, co-op, or apprenticeship programs. This means that students obtain work experience as part of their study program. For example, Memorial University offers work experience programs in engineering, nursing and social work. Many vocational and technical schools also offer co-op programs.

It is important to get as much information as you can about different post-secondary schools and programs. You can get information from counsellors, or students who have attended the schools. You can also get information from books, magazines or the Internet.
