Skills Ontario Career Exploration Events
Our Career Exploration Events are for young women to learn about careers in the skilled trades and technologies. These events provide participants the opportunity to integrate experiential workshops and networking with mentors. These events are held for secondary and senior elementary (grades 7-8) students. Previously, Skills Ontario hosted events in multiple locations across the province throughout the school year. For the 2020-2021 school year, we hosted our programming in a virtual format!
Please stay tuned for more information on Career Exploration Events for the 2021-2021 school year.
