While some of these students eventually graduate from high school, others don’t. And while some move on to university, others don’t.
For those teenagers and young adults who don’t continue on the school track, things can get overwhelming. They thus need some guidance: Where do I go from here? What should I do now? How should I live my life?
Luckily, in Canada there are private schools with programs tailored to these individuals. These specialty schools offer adult skills programs which can help with the transition from childhood to adulthood, and from the school world to the work world.
These schools help with one of the most critical transition periods in life. They offer programs for young adults which teach them important life skills.
How do these programs work? And how do they teach young adults such important life skills?
The truth is, there is no one perfect model. There are many ways to teach young adults how to be happy, productive, and successful members of society.
Some adult skills programs offer mostly specialized courses. For instance, they might offer specific courses in searching for employment, living healthy, and nutrition. Students, in these programs, can choose which skills and areas they want to focus on.
Other programs offer a more all-inclusive, integrated approach, which teaches a wide range of life skills through a broad curriculum.
There are also both full- and part-time adult skills programs. This gives young adults seeking guidance two main options. They can fully immerse themselves in adult programming through an intensive approach. Or they can learn important life skills at nights, on weekends, or one or two days a week. This option gives them the freedom to pursue other endeavours, such as look for employment, enter the work world, or engage in recreational activities.
