Careers
Our students will succeed in a much different future from the one we envisioned 10 or 15 years ago. It is our responsibility to prepare all children for success in whatever life path they choose, connecting learning opportunities with future career possibilities. We know that real-life experiences - like community involvement, gaining business knowledge, and hands-on-learning - build better students and life-long citizens.
Bakerview boasts a robust career programming and certification offerings. Please visit our instagram account @bakerviewcentreforlearning for upcoming certification and training sessions, upcoming volunteer opportunities, celebrations of certifications, and our updated job board where we share a summary of available job openings from within our community.
