High school program

The CareerTrackers High School Program was established to accelerate First Nations students’ high school completion, university enrolment and participation in successive internship opportunities in our University Program.

The program provides Year 12 students with training, coaching and exposure to pathways into higher education and professional employment.

The final stage of the Program is an internship that provides Year 12 students interested in a degree of STEM, Business or Law with four weeks of paid employment, leadership development and access to a network of First Nations role-models prior to arriving on campus for Day 1 of University.

More than 175 First Nations Year 12 students have participated in our pre-university internships of which 91% transitioned into a university degree and 73% continued in successive internships in CareerTrackers.

Students benefit by engaging with First Nations professionals, corporate and university partners to build academic proficiency, leadership skills and motivation to pursue higher education and employment.

The CareerTrackers High School Program leverages our existing network of employment partners, university partners and programs in schools to deliver pre-university training and paid work that equips students with an income, relevant skills and a support system to strengthen their transition from school into university and a professional career.
