1. Introduction to CCD
Welcome to the Career and Community Development (CCD) course! We are thrilled to be embarking on this adventure with you. CCD is designed to awaken the immense potential of young Nunavimmiut to harness their collective skills, values and interests to create thriving communities across the region. It does not follow a traditional model of education. Rather, it is a course that was specifically designed and developed to meet current and future needs of students in Nunavik.
The purpose of this page is to provide basic tools and resources for the course, but rest assured, there will be supplementary training to support all new and returning CCD teachers. We can’t wait to meet and work with you this year!
