Building transferable skills through the personal and professional skills course
The personal and professional skills course (PPS) is a core component of the Career-related Programme (CP) and each school designs and develops it around five themes: personal development, intercultural understanding, effective communication, thinking processes and applied ethics. IB Voices sat down with Chris Baker-Raivo, CP coordinator and Lori Brumbaugh, personal and professional skills teacher at Champlin Park High School to hear how the programme is bridging students to career pathways and ways to foster student agency through the PPS course.
