Student Intentions Study – 3 Years Later

This project will provide some insights into the change or durability of student intentions and perceptions in the province with regard to key skilled trade and ocean industry careers, and provide evidence of progress (or not) relating to coaching, awareness building and teacher development initiatives that have occurred during the three years between studies. This data will give us an idea if we are making progress in shifting the perceptions of these career opportunities that are essential and crucial to economic progress for this region. The data from this study will show us if current initiatives are having an impact, where there is still work to be done, and what is having the best/least influence on youth perceptions of career opportunities in our region. This data will help to inform future teacher development initiatives, community outreach, ocean literacy, career literacy, and industry involvement as they relate to raising and improving awareness of key regional career opportunities in the broader ocean economy.
