Local French Catholic students learning more about in-demand careers
Carpentry, plumbing, culinary arts, mining, and more.
Those were some of the skilled trades represented at an interactive day of events for approximately 100 students from Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord’s three secondary schools on Monday, May 26.
Grade 9 and 10 students from Élisabeth-Bruyère in Mattawa, Algonquin in North Bay and Franco-Cité in Sturgeon Falls got an up-close look at in-demand careers.
The board says by discovering these fields and interacting with experts, students can broaden their professional horizons, enabling them to pursue exciting, in-demand careers after graduation.
“Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord and its schools wish to thank their valued partners in education and recognize their commitment to supporting them in shaping productive citizens who will contribute to our ever-changing society,” states a release.
Officials say several partners were involved in the event, including Collège Boréal, Canadore College, Mine Connect and more.
