Pathways to Education

The program in Sept-Îles

Pathways to Education (Pathways) acts in prevention to help lower the rate of students dropping out of secondary school.

In collaboration with the school community, the program is offered at participating secondary schools in Sept-Îles.

Four types of support

Personalized support

A youth counselor works with students one-on-one, and brings them to:

1. set objectives and monitor their achievement
2. solve problems
3. recognize their strengths, their efforts and their successes
4. prepare for life after secondary school

School support

The students can improve their ability to learn, thanks to tutoring sessions, homework assistance and workshops (studying strategies, planning and organizing, etc.)

Social support

The students take part in various group activities, in order to:

1. develop their skills
2. build relationships
3. discover the options they have

Financial support

The students can receive sporadic financial assistance, as well as a post-secondary scholarship up to 2000 $.

The student must:

• Attend a participating secondary school
• Volunteer to take part in the program
• Be going through one or many challenges that impact their school perseverance

Here are examples of impacts that can signal that the student is going through some challenges:

• Loss of motivation and interest
• Loss of direction regarding their school project
• Lack of efforts
• Declining school performance
• Presenteeism and absenteeism
• School is no longer a priority
• Negative comments about school
• Changes in behaviour

Preregistration to the program (Grade 6)

The transition from elementary to secondary school represents an important moment in the path of youths. A preregistration period starts in Grade 6 to support youths during their entry to secondary school. Preregistered youths are invited to participate in summer activities to ensure a smoother transition.
