The province has announced more details about plans to expand its skilled trades career fairs.
Over 25,000 students in grades 7 to 12, as well as parents and jobseekers, will have the opportunity to learn about the trades through interactive exhibitions and hands-on activities while hearing directly from tradespeople and local employers.
The first Level Up career fair will be held in Thunder Bay on September 19, with and will continue in nine other cities across the province through the end of November.
New to the list this year is Windsor, with dates set for October 25th and 26th. London will host the career fair on November 1st and 2nd.
Grade 7 to 12 students interested in attending the career fairs are encouraged to contact their school board’s Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) recruiter, a teacher or school guidance counsellor to register.
