- Develop secondary course plans to assist with post-secondary goals and map out course selections each year
- Track your progress towards graduation
- Create an online portfolio of personal work/achievements and more
- Build your own resume to prepare for future work
- Research and connect to up-to-date post-secondary opportunities (university, college, apprenticeships, workplace)
- Earn points as you complete tasks unique to your grade – use points to enter draws for gift cards and more through MyBlueprint
