Over 400 Grade 7 and 8 students from 5 elementary schools visited the Level Up! Career Fair at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre. Level Up! is a series of dynamic, multi-day career fairs highlighting the 144 skilled trades, including automotive service technicians, boilermakers, and carpenters supported by the Ontario Ministry of Education and OYAP.
Students from St Paul, St Gabriel, Our Lady of Hope, St Martin of Tours, and Annunciation of our Lord learned about many trades through interactive exhibitions and safe, hands-on activities, while hearing directly from tradespeople and local employers. Learning about these trades offered students a glimpse into the opportunities available to support their future pathways as well as their transition to secondary school, where they will be taking the mandatory Technological Education credit required as part of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
