Some pros of an apprenticeship program are: less expensive, get paid on the job, hands on training by skilled employers, and a high chance of getting a job there. I personally wouldn't go into an apprenticeship because I like the school environment, and as well was in somewhat the same opportunity.

Bridge programs that I have thought about would be after completing my dipolma at St.Lawrence College in Child and Youth worker, I can go to almost any University to comeplete my degree in many fields.

My warm call experience went good. I messaged a girl that I somewhat know on facebook and asked her about the Child and Youth Worker program at St.Lawrence College, as she is currently in it right now and finishing this year. She told me it is a really good program there, and that the professors are great. This message gave me a better insight that I am choosing a great program at a good college!

The 3 Careers that I researched on Working in Canada were:
1. Child & Youth Worker
2. Developmental Service Worker
3. Psychiatric Aid
For all 3 you need a diploma or a college certificate.
In September I plan on taking the Child & Youth Worker program anyways, so seeing that there are jobs available is a good thing!
