The goal of an exit program is to help students make a successful transition to the next stage of their lives.  All students leaving school are encouraged to participate in an exit program. 

The exit programs for graduates should include the following:

•  a review of each student's plans for postsecondary education, training, apprenticeship, independent living, or work
•  information on university and college programs, application and admission procedures etc.
• information on apprenticeship programs
• information on procedures for applying for employment
• financial planning information
• As part of their exit program students are encouraged to complete and review an electronic copy of their annual education plan entitled myBlueprint in order to review future plans and goals.
