Grade five to eight students at Ecole McIsaac School will take part in a career fair tomorrow. Organizer Alexandra Beasse who runs a youth and careers program says they are offering opportunities for the children to experience careers in the north. She says they have Skills Manitoba attending and they’ll be doing a workshop on the skill trades and Roland Misling who is the Dean of Trades and Technology from UCN will be joining Michelle Pruder from Skills Manitoba and she is also bringing a volunteer from Thompson who’s going to do an entrepreneurial workshop and talk to students about building their own business and our local Greg East is going to drop in and share his experiences.
Others discussing careers include the Northern Mining Academy on minerals and prospecting, Hudbay on mining, Frontier School Division on transportation and Alex McGilvery on writing your story.
