Career Centre

Students are encouraged to book a career appointment with Ms. Halter in Grade 12 to explore career options, to look at education or training requirements needed to obtain employment in a particular field, to learn about post-secondary programs and gain information on scholarships. Click to book now. (Please note appointments will become available to Grade 10 and 11 students in the second semester!)

RDC's Winter 2021 JumpStart program will be running next term, giving students the opportunity to take a post-secondary course, explore an area of interest and take on a new challenge. Tuition for a JumpStart course is $0, but students are required to pay for any textbooks. Most of RDC’s courses that are eligible within the JumpStart program are being delivered online, potentially making it easier for students to participate. More information is available here.  See Ms. Halter if you are interested in participating.

It is important for students to be responsible for their own academic records and course information. All students are required to sign up for an account in "My Pass."  Click here for instructions on how to do this.

The 2020/2021 student loan application can be access at Alberta Student Aid.  

Do you need a reference letter? Scholarships often require references. Start the process by completing a student profile sheet to outline your accomplishments over the past three years.  Providing the completed profile sheet to your referees will make writing you a strong reference letter easier.  

Looking for volunteer opportunities in your community? Check out Volunteer Central, a database of volunteer postings by area. Volunteering looks great on a resume and is an important consideration for scholarships! Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community!
