Skills Canada Alberta promotes trades and technology careers and this year launched a junior high program designed for grades 7-9. Schools from across northern Alberta were invited to bring groups of four students to the junior high event on Thursday, December 8.
The New Horizons Student Council executive were the four students who attended the event.
The purpose of Skills Exploration Days is to:
- Inspire junior high students to identify inherent skills and interests.
- Connect students’ skills and interests to trade and technology careers through interactive, hands-on experiences that promote creativity, empathy, and exploration.
- Promote trade and technology careers as a valuable and rewarding career choice.
