About
IB Career Related Programme
The IB Career-related Programme (CP) is designed for post-16 students who are passionate about a specific career pathway or subject area.
CP students complete a Career-related Study (CRS), three DP courses at Standard or Higher Level (SL, HL, or combined), and the CP Core, which includes the Reflective Project, Community Engagement, Personal and Professional Skills, and Language & Cultural Studies.
Students should select courses aligned with their interests, skills, and future goals. The CRS connects to the student’s intended career field, while DP courses complement the CRS. Researching post-secondary requirements, such as mathematics for specific university pathways, is crucial for informed decision-making.
The CRS is a vital part of the CP, offering real-world learning experiences that prepare students for higher education, internships, apprenticeships, or careers in their chosen field. At GIS, students select a CRS from a range of options designed to support their aspirations.
