The focus of the Guidance and Career Education program at Keswick High School is to help each student successfully complete high school, and realize their full potential, by setting goals that lead to an appropriate post-secondary pathway in the world of work, apprenticeship, college or university. The program is delivered through classroom instruction, seminars, field trips, guest speakers and individual academic and career counselling. Guidance counsellors also provide students with short-term personal counselling and referrals to community agencies, help with problem-solving skills to deal with personal or school-related issues, assistance with course selection, and information on how to earn the required 40 hours of community involvement activities.
