Through participation in Focus Days, students have the opportunity to learn directly from industry professionals, explore workplace environments, and gain valuable insight into the knowledge, skills, training, and educational pathways associated with different careers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Offered throughout the school year, Focus Days support students in making informed decisions about their future education, training, and career goals. These experiential learning opportunities encourage students to connect classroom learning to real-world applications, develop career awareness, and explore areas of personal interest.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Focus Days are typically one-day experiences in which students attend an industry visit, workshop, or career exploration activity under the supervision of a Career Education teacher. As participants are away from their regular classes for the day, students are responsible for communicating with their teachers and completing any missed coursework, assignments, tests, or assessments.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Focus Days are supplemental career exploration activities and do not carry course credit.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-38njxl-81af842276047989c86e93c36a9069c7 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mtx6k9k2-6f25cf08fc6d681a7144e4b56b2ae8ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mtx6k9k2-6f25cf08fc6d681a7144e4b56b2ae8ee img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mtx6k9k2-6f25cf08fc6d681a7144e4b56b2ae8ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mtx6k9k2-6f25cf08fc6d681a7144e4b56b2ae8ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4190 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4190 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/Step2-300x200.png\" alt='' title='Step2'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/Step2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/Step2-391x260.png 391w, https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/Step2.png 613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtx6rxse-ca1f7bd7e8e752cb3dde9828c4d240a1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Upcoming Events<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #0086ce;\" \/>\n<div class=\"mec-wrap mec-skin-list-container  \" id=\"mec_skin_mec1\">\r\n\r\n    \r\n        <div class=\"mec-skin-list-events-container\" id=\"mec_skin_events_mec1\">\r\n        No event found!    <\/div>\r\n    \r\n    \r\n<\/div>\r\n<script data-mec-view-beacon=\"1\" data-view=\"list\" data-skin=\"list\" data-sh=\"2d7541abe31a\" data-count=\"0\">(function(){if(!window.mecRelayBeacon||!document.currentScript)return;var s=document.currentScript;window.mecRelayBeacon(\"mec_calendar_view_rendered\",{calendar_url:location.origin+location.pathname,view_type:s.dataset.view,skin:s.dataset.skin,shortcode_id_hash:s.dataset.sh,events_shown_bucket:s.dataset.count},\"mec_vr_\"+s.dataset.skin+\"_\"+s.dataset.sh);})();<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4377","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-09 06:30:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/94"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4377"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4456,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4377\/revisions\/4456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/career-programs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
