Career Enrichment

At BVT, students work on creating a life, one that is true to who they are. What does it take to be employable in the 21st Century? And how do young people go out into the world to become successful adults? In Career Enrichment, we stretch that a bit, asking students to look for a vocation where their personal interests, passion, talents, and character strengths meet the needs of the world.
 
Each year students are enrolled in the Career Enrichment course appropriate for their grade. Career Enrichment teachers team up with school counselors, coaching all BVT students in the fundamental skills that ensure adaptability and success in the 21st century.
 
Coursework is project-based, mostly digital, and includes a mix of collaborative and individual endeavors. Teachers frame groupwork around individual accountability and team rewards. Student autonomy is expected, encouraged, and supported with clear expectations and direction. Career Enrichment teachers and school counselors deliver strengths-based instruction guided by the tenets of Positive Psychology. Students discover who they are and what they can do as they acquire 21st-century skills and become ready for college, work, and society.
