Vanier Hosts Annual Career And Post Secondary Fair

By Submitted

This past Monday Vanier Collegiate held their Annual Career and Post Secondary Event.

A must attend for Grade 11 and Grade 12 students the event offered students, as well as their parents in the evening, to learn about educational programs offered from a wide variety of post secondary institutions.

Details:

• We had 18 programs.

• All grade 11 and 12 students participated in the afternoon sessions.

• Great way for students to explore options, career pathways and post-secondary options ranging from trades, work, college and university to name a few.

• It is a great event especially for grade 11’s so they can be more mindful when they are registering for classes, and grade 12’s who some are currently applying for school this month.

• We do this event every year to help students and parents learn about the unlimited possibilities for options after high school. It can be overwhelming at times but this is a great event to get the conversation going.

• We hope that those conversations will continue in the home and in the classrooms so that students can feel engaged in what they are doing now and in the future.

We also had parent night for an hour, it was great for parents to come and ask questions.

We hope to plan a larger evening event next year that could include the whole city and all high schools.

There were a number of testimonials from the students who attended.
