Ontario’s Level Up! Skilled Trades Career Fair is expanding to seven more communities this year, including North Bay.
Officials say over 35,000 students from grades 7 to 12 will have the opportunity to explore over 140 skilled trades at 15 events being held from Sept. 12 to Nov. 28.
There are hands-on activities and interactive exhibitions, with tradespeople and local employers on site, too.
Each fair will feature:
- Safety in the construction, industrial, service and manufacturing trades
- Trainers and employers on site.
“Last year, we doubled our Level Up! Career Fairs, giving thousands of students, parents and teachers a glimpse into the rewarding careers in the skilled trades – and this year, our Level Up! Career Fairs are bigger than ever,” says David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “By expanding these career fairs to seven new cities across the province, we will be able to give over 35,000 students the chance to learn about the most cutting-edge, in-demand careers in the country, with interactive exhibits that offer safe, hands-on learning opportunities. I invite everyone to visit our career fairs, learn about the trades and help us build a better future.”
North Bay’s fair is being held on Oct. 16 at Nipissing University.
The provincial initiative is now into its third year.
