Online Course Selection - Career Cruising

Career Cruising is an interactive career guidance and pathways planning tool designed for people of all ages. The tool can help students to find the right career, explore different career options, manage course selection online, and plan various pathways to meet the requirements for their desired career path.

Grades 1-5 students will access the Career Cruising online tool through a new district account (School Username: yorkregion; School Password: careers) with the option to create their own portfolio accounts.

Grades 6-12+ students are directed to sign into the site with their district assigned account. The portfolio username for students is yorkxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxx is the student ID and the password will be the student’s birth date using the format mmddyyyy. All students will start their portfolios from scratch in Career Cruising. Students from Grades 8 through 12+ will perform their course selections through the Course Planner module on the Career Cruising site.

Secondary School Designation

Grade 8 Students: Where you go to school is based on your home address and school boundaries (attendance areas).
