On Friday, May 30, all Grade 7 & 8 students across the Board took part in an exciting LIVE virtual presentation with Dr. John Callegher, an employment researcher and expert in Skilled Trades. Dr. Callegher delivered an engaging, interactive session highlighting career pathways in the Skilled Trades and shared five compelling reasons to explore apprenticeship opportunities through OYAP (Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program) during high school.
His message was clear: the future is full of opportunities for students who are curious, hands-on, and ready to explore!
After the virtual session, students rolled up their sleeves and worked in pairs to build their own electric car models, applying teamwork, problem-solving, and technical skills in a fun, hands-on project.
