What you need to know!

What is the CLC Graduation Project (Capstone)?

• The CLC Graduation Project is the

culminating project for CLC 12. This is an

• pportunity for you to extend your career-

life knowledge, stretch your potential, challenge your abilities and share your learning.

career area of interest.

care about, or find interest in. Only then will it be meaningful and purposeful.

Graduation Project Overview

Final Proposal Process Presentation

chosen project and goals for skill building, timeline, resources.

• The Process

involves in-depth investigation and exploration of your project.

• Mentorship
• Min. 5 artifacts
• Core competency

reflections

• One-on-one formal

presentation of the end result of your project

• Presentation can

take on different forms

There are 3 Key Learning Goals of the Graduation Project:

• 1. SKILL

BUILDING

• 2. MENTORSHIP

OPPORTUNITY

• 3. CORE

COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT

Skill Building

• The project will focus on building a skill in a

career area of interest. You can explore developing a NEW skill or EXPAND on a skill you can do or have knowledge in.

• Your Graduation Project can look like the

following: service learning, volunteerism, shadowing/internship, fieldwork projects, entrepreneurship, and passion projects

• You will dedicate a minimum of 30 hours

towards the skill development. This is be recorded in a Monthly Log Sheet.

**** This does not include the time you spent documenting your work e.g. writing your Final Grad Project Proposal, the Final Grad Project Report or creating your presentation.

Mentorship

• As part of your CLC Graduation Project, you will

be asked to find a mentor(s) to guide and support you through the completion of your project.

• Having a mentor can be a powerful and

rewarding experience. Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.

Mentorship

• Your mentor will play an important role in

helping you with career-life development

e.g. planning, decision making, exposure to possibilities and finding opportunities

• Your mentor should be an adult (e.g. family

member, community member) and must have some expertise or knowledge in the area you are exploring for your CLC Graduation Project.

• Mentorship Permission Form due Dec. 11
• You will be required to record the

interactions you have with your mentor in a Monthly Log Sheet.

Choosing A Mentor

Choosing a mentor isn’t necessarily a difficult task, but it should be something you put some thought into. When choosing a mentor here are some things to consider:

• Values: It is important to make sure your values

align with the person you are considering as a potential mentor. This will help build a better relationship.

• Communication: You want to make sure the

person you have in mind can communicate with you in a way that is easy for you to understand.

Choosing A Mentor

• Willingness: This person must be willing to help

and feel comfortable to readily share with you.

• Expectations: Ensure you define what you are

looking for in the mentorship so that you and your potential mentor are on the same page,

e.g. how much time you would like to meet with your mentor and how they can help you.

• Personality: Finding someone with a

complementary personality to yours can help better develop your mentorship.

Core Competencies

• The core competencies are the set of

intellectual, personal, and social skills that you as students need to develop in order to engage in deeper learning.

• They encourage you to:
• Look at things from different perspectives
• To see the relationships between your learning in

different subjects

• Make connections to your previous learning and

to your own experiences

You will be asked to complete a Core Competency self-assessment at the end of each term: For each term, you will need to choose one (1) Core Competency area to complete a self- assessment on: Communication OR Thinking OR Personal an Social

Project Possibilities

Example 1: You are a hockey player and want to pursue playing hockey at a professional level (NHL). You want to develop your skating skills.

• You can choose one area of skating to work on e.g. speed
• Figure out a plan to improve on your skating speed, e.g. find a mentor such as a

hockey coach to give you advice, training program

• Rather than saying “I got faster at skating” you should measure how fast you

skated in October and have a daily practice log to record your progress as we want to see quantifiable evidence.

Project Possibilities

Example 2: You are interested in becoming an architect. You want to develop your drafting skills.

• You can choose to learn how to use a specific drafting software.
• You can find a mentor who is a specialist in this area that can teach you how to

use the program.

• You can log in the different modules you learnt.
• Demonstrate your skill development by showcasing a drawing that you

produced with the software.

Project Possibilities

Example 3: You are interested in being a community worker for a non-profit organization e.g. Burnaby Neighborhood House. A great skill to have for this type of career is knowing how to and implementing event planning.

• You can find a non-profit organization to volunteer/shadow.
• You can discuss with the organization about upcoming events they are hosting

and ask if there is a project you can help plan.

• Documentation can be an activity log: such as record or meetings, planning time,

event volunteer hours, time spent seeking for sponsorships.

• You can showcase event pictures (some pictures should include yourself) or

materials you used/created for the event as evidence during the presentation.
