Post Secondary Opportunities - johnfraserss/ICS3U GitHub Wiki

Choose a career strongly related to newer or developing technology that involves computers/computing devices. The career chosen cannot be a computer programmer, software engineer, or any related/similar career. Any career that does not have programming (or supervising programmers) is a valid choice for this project.

Complete research to determine the following:

• Find trends relating to the outlook of the career above.
  • Find trends locally (Ontario), nationally (Canada), and abroad (anywhere but Ontario or Canada).
  • Examples of trends can include how the career has done in the past (pay, amount of jobs, etc.) and how they are forecast to be in the future. For example: "The current salary of ________ in Ontario is $XX,XXX per year. The pay has increased by Y% since Z years ago. The future outlook of this job is ________."
• Other than cooperative education (co-op), identify experiential learning opportunities relating to the career chosen above.
• Find multiple post-secondary programs that lead to the career above. Suggested inclusions: admission requirements, tuition, why someone would choose that particular school, etc.

Upon completing research, collate your information into a product of your choosing that can either be (a) uploaded to, or (b) completed directly on, a webpage on replit. You will be presenting your data in a one-on-one manner with the teacher. This is an interactive presentation/discussion where the teacher will be testing your knowledge of the work you completed. Be prepared to answer difficult questions.

For the above tasks, complete the following regarding citations:

• Cite your work using IEEE format.
• Cite all images used. You can provide a list of hyperlinks to the images used.
• Keep a copy of your notes, as they might be requested in the future.

Please see the due dates page for more details on when this is due and how to submit your work.
