The International Baccalaureate Career Related Certificate with Natasha DeFlorian

The  IB  Career  related  certificate  (IBCC)  is  the  IB's  fourth  programme  which  provides  

students  with  a  range  of  possibilities  and  pathways  in  order  to  truly  promote  college  and  

career  readiness.  The  IBCC  incorporates  the  educational  principles,  vision  and  learner  profile  

of  the  IB  into  a  unique  programme  for  students  who  are  engaged  in  career-­‐related  education.  

Please  join  us  for  this  interactive  sesssion  where  you  will  learn  how  you  can  increase  access  

to  an  IB  education  at  your  school  and  or  school  district.  

 

This  session  will  cover  an  overview  of  the  IB's  newest  programme.  During  the  session  

participants  will  be  provided  with  the  necessary  information  about  the  programme  to  make  

an  informed  decision  about  adding  the  IBCC  to  their  school's  offerings.  Participants  will  learn  

about  ways  in  which  the  IBCC  can  be  used  to  help  promote  college  and  career  readiness  and  

ways  in  which  the  IBCC  can  increase  access  to  an  IB  education  for  students.  Participants  will  

also  be  provided  with  resources  and  programme  material  which  will  be  helpful  in  the  

promotion  of  the  IBCC  throughout  their  school  community.
