Are you a student interested in learning more about the skilled trades? Well here’s your chance.

On Thursday, students and their families are invited to attend the Skilled Trades and Technology Information Night at Bradford District High School.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trades and technology sector. They can also learn about the specialized programs the school offers to support this pathway.

The night will kick off with an introduction to the trades, followed by a keynote presentation by Dr. Jon Callegher, Executive Director of Job Talks, a research and media agency that focuses on Canadian workers.

Students will find informational booths with local skilled trades-based organizations and an array of employers to chat with. Classroom tours will also take place that evening.

Students do not have to register for this event; however, if you are interested in attending, members of the Simcoe County District School Board ask that you RSVP in advance.

The event runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Bradford District High School located at 70 Professor Day Drive in Bradford.
