Background information about the event:
The purpose of this showcase event is not only to promote SD42 Trades Training programs, but also to highlight careers in the skilled trades. Parents/guardians and students will learn about employment opportunities and gain industry insights directly from industry personnel.
The evening will begin with a panel discussion that will include industry professionals and success stories of former students. After the panel discussion, there will be time to circulate through the Trades Showcase Fair. There will also be a dedicated breakout session for women who are interested in the trades to explore options and have further discussion.
Note: Refreshments will be provided by our Vancouver Community College Professional Cook Level One students.
