A cornerstone of the POP program, the POP activity guides are experiential tools created for students to help them explore various careers. All of these guides were developed by the Commission scolaire de la Beauce-Etchemin (CSBE) in partnership with the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MEES).
Workbooks and Tool Kits
All the POP activity guides can be downloaded for free on the POP Links website. This site also contains all the electronic resources required for students to complete the guides: student workbooks, other files, and web links, as applicable. In addition, the site contains resources for teachers: lists of materials, teacher’s guides, and information about software requirements, as applicable.

Latest versions of the guides
Whether you use paper or electronic copies of the POP activity guides, are you working with the latest versions? Consult the table in the section of the POP Links website to make sure. This table contains the latest version number of each guide (which also appears on the cover page of the guide) and the date of publication of the latest version. It also indicates whether the guide comes with a tool kit and/or a student workbook. Finally, icons in the table are used to indicate new guides or new versions of previously published guides.
Electronic resources for each guide
If you click on a guide title (such as Aviation) in the Activity Guides section, you will be taken to a webpage that contains a description of the guide followed by a list of the web links required to complete each activity.
In the right-hand column, you will also find links to download PDF files of the latest version of the activity guide and student workbook, as well as the list of materials for the guide, the teacher’s guide, and a section entitled “Other Information for Teachers” (if applicable).
Recent updates
Consult the Recent Updates section (which also appears on the homepage of the site) to find out the latest additions to the POP Links website. 
example, the Medicine activity guide was recently updated. If you click on “See All Updates,” you will be taken to the All Updates page, which lists all the most recent updates for the past year or so. You can subscribe via email on the homepage to receive notifications when updates are made to the site.
