Take Our Kids To Work Day

Take Our Kids to Work Day is an annual November event giving Grade 9 students the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a working professional. This experience helps students explore potential careers, plan their future paths in STEM, and encourages conversations with parents about career options. The Faculty of Engineering and Design and Virtual Ventures are excited to host a day filled with hands-on activities, guided tours, and interactive sessions! Students will gain practical insight into engineering and design professions, exploring the skills, challenges, and opportunities these fields offer.
