Date: Sept. 29, 2020Time Spent:Resources Used: (i.e.: time, space, materials, contacts)Work Accomplished:45 minutesMeeting with mentorLooking into career opportunities. Successes / New Learning: Options for school to become a personal trainer are - kinesiology degree at the university, community programs from different gyms, apprenticeship hours with a licensed trainer, some different certifications available through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in CPT. Challenges: There would be challenges in going to university to do kinesiology, as it is 4 years, and you need a lot more money to do a degree than a certification. However, while going to the university you do have access to the Northern Sports Centre, and I could maybe even get a job there. I would be difficult to make enough wage to go to school and live, so I may need to take out a loan. I would be able to do a lot of work online which has its own challenges, as I would have to be very careful to carve out time to do it, but it is only a one-year program online or 10 weeks with an instructor.Next Steps: Make some decisions! I need to find out about funding and money, if I can work toward my personal training certificate while in university and working at the gym. I will need to do some research into the programs and career opportunities within this field. Maybe I want to work towards physiotherapy. Do I need another degree first? Where would I work?

Ideally, your mentor will not be a family member, however, please talk with your Career Life Connections teacher, if there are special circumstances. Think about people you know with knowledge in your interest area such as family friends, neighbours, colleagues, coaches, teachers or professionals in your community. You may need to reach out and do some networking in your community to find the perfect mentor for you! Refer to your Networking section from CLC 12A.Although you will benefit the most from your mentoring relationship with face to face meetings, it is also acceptable to connect with your mentor through online communication. As you decide on a mentor, remember that the most important thing about a mentor is the relationship. Make sure you choose someone you are comfortable with and connect with. If you are having a challenge finding a mentor in your interest area, connect with your Career Education teacher TODAY for help!Once you have connected with someone who has agreed to act as your mentor throughout your capstone progress, complete the information for your mentor below, as well as the capstone project mentor agreement form, provided on the next page.What is your mentor’s name?What is your mentor’s occupation and their relationship to you?Describe why you feel that your mentor will be a good support for you.

Don’t worry – it’s not as onerous as it sounds, and you will have help and support along the way! This information will help you organize your research into a final capstone, which you will be proud to present.Planning for your Capstone Presentation:Your final presentation will be a showcase of your learning to show what you now understand about your topic.Your capstone presentation might include any of the following:Career Options - investigation of a specific career or specific aspect of a career. Learning Journey- investigate how past, present, and future experiences are shaping your career life choices.Personal Interest - demonstrate a new skill or showcases something you have created (a passion project!). Your Capstone can take many forms, such as a film or video, a document, a performance, or something you have created. Think about your essential question – what is the best way to represent your answer?Examples: a robot you built, a game you coded, a live demonstration, a work ready application portfolio, a compilation of audio recordings, a final art piece / animation / fashion piece / cookbook, slide show, TEDTalk like speech, spoken word poem, a compilation of vlogs filmed along the way, a booklet of your learning evidence and journal, a short story about your journey, an essay…This list is in no way exhaustive! Google “Ways to Demonstrate Learning” or “Ways to Present What You Know” to be inspired by different ideas. Think of how you learn best, how you could best present your topic and essential question (and answers!) and what representation style most inspires you!Planning for your Capstone Presentation:Your Capstone project includes a presentation – this is what you’ve worked so hard for! During your presentation, you will present your chosen capstone project. Your presentation, supported by evidence, will explain your interests, essential question, research, career explorations, and the link between them.You are welcome to invite others to share in your capstone presentation, such as your mentor, your parents, friends, colleagues, family members or others that provide support in your life. You are likely nervous about speaking in front of an audience, but remember that you are the expert, and you have invested a significant amount of time and energy into this project! This is a huge accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourself!Here are some hints and ideas to help with your presentation outline. Remember your goal is to provide the audience with a clear and concrete evidence of your capstone journey, and what you gained from the experience.Start by introducing yourself – how did you come to decide your capstone journey?What are your post-graduation plans and options? What options are you considering at this point? Why?How have you demonstrated and showed growth in the Core Competencies?Career-life development includes ongoing cycles of exploring, planning, reflecting, adapting, and deciding.Career-life decisions influence and are influenced by internal and external factors, including local and global trends.Engaging in networks and reciprocal relationships can guide and broaden career-life awareness and options.A sense of purpose and career-life balance support well-being.Lifelong learning and active citizenship foster career-life opportunities for people and communities.Explain your capstone goal(s) and essential question through showcasing your final product. Discuss the journey you have experienced, your learning and your growth. Describe the contents of your project.How was this project a challenge for you? How did it stretch your skills, knowledge, and comfort zone?Where are you now on this journey? Have any new goals or questions come about through completing this project?What did this process teach you about pursuing your goals and lifelong learning? Make sure you look at the rubric which will be used for assessment and feedback of your presentation before your presentation date!The Nuts and Bolts of the Presentation:TimeThis will be determined by your school and your Career Education teacher. The presentation could take the form of a panel presentation, one on one presentation, or a gallery walk.ProfessionalismAppearance: you need to be dressed appropriately for your presentation, ideally in business casual. Your dress and personal appearance is an important part of the presentation, as it will show readiness for tackling your career-life goals. Attendance: you are required to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your presentation time. Prior to your presentation, please ensure that you send an electronic copy of your presentation to your Career Life Connections teacher (when possible). You must make sure that all equipment needed for your presentation is set and working before your presentation starts. PresentationMake use of visual aids in your presentation, such as a PowerPoint, Prezi, video, audio, musical performance, demonstration or poster. Not only will that help with your nerves, but it will help your audience better understand what you have learned from your project. If your project resulted in an actual product, the product or photos need to be part of your presentation.If you are choosing to show a video as part of your presentation, please keep the video time to less than half of your presentationEnsure that you have practiced your presentation beforehand – it will show! As well, be confident, stand straight, speak to your audience at a reasonable pace and use eye contact. Throughout your Capstone presentation, continually show evidence of your Core Competencies through the depth of your learning, the knowledge and skills that you developed and the way your project assisted your career-life decisions. When presenting your Capstone, remember that it is not about whether you fully accomplished your goal. This process can be messy, and you may have pivoted your plan along the way. Present your journey and your learning, along with your end product.

You must ensure you have enough revenue coming in to cover your expenses. This activity is intended to help you research and gain understanding of potential income, expenses and support during your first year after high school. TASK: Complete a practice personal annual budget estimating your cost of living for the first year after graduation.ACCOMODATION and LIVING EXPENSES.If you intend to rent an apartment, check apartment rental sites to find out the cost of rent, and determine whether or not utilities are included. Calculate expenses associated with food, transportation, rent, communications, utilities, etc..If you intend to share accommodation, calculate expenses associated with your portion of food, transportation, rent, communications, utilities, etc..If you intend to live at home, calculate and list your portion of living expenses such as, food, rent, utilities, communication, transportation, clothing, etc. … it would also be beneficial to calculate the “value” of living at home in terms of what your rent expense would be if you had to pay it to live at home.If you intend to live “in Residence” then check on the university or college website to find out the cost of residence and whether it would be economical for you to purchase a “meal plan”. INCOME and SUPPORTDo you, or will you have part-time employment or student loans to cover costs?If your parents are paying any of your costs, whether at home or elsewhere, including rent, food, communication, etc.., include this contribution as “family support” under REVENUE and itemize it (list the specific things).If you are eligible, consider supports for your education and living expenses from bursaries, scholarships, and/or band.If you are eligible, consider programs for free or low-cost post-secondary education for students (see your school counsellor for more information)Remember, you are typically at post-secondary school for eight months. For this budget, you need to calculate your expenses for an entire year.Be realistic. Take the time to ensure that the Budget you are creating is actually a useful tool upon which you can base some financial decisions.Consider asking your parents/guardians for help in making a determination about how much things might cost, and/or how much your portion of things cost currentlyNOTE: Not all expense categories apply to everyone – Some of you will be attending post-secondary training. Some of you will be working at a full-time job. Some will purchase tools for trade school. Some will travel. Some will invest in a professional wardrobe. Some will buy assets such as furniture, a computer, or even a house. **Only fill in the categories that apply to your particular situation for next year**Sample Budget Below is a “Sample Budget”. Study it and use it to guide you as you complete your own version in the blank form that follows. Calculate your own cost of living for the year following graduation. NOTE: This is an ANNUAL budget: You must determine your overall YEARLY cost. The “monthly” column is simply for your convenience. For example, if your monthly rent is $800.00, your annual rent is 800 x 12 = $9,600.00. If you will be living at home, rent-free for the summer months, note that in your budget.NAME: Sam Budgetski DATE: 2021/2022 .My intentions: I am a college student living at home to save money.
