School District No. 73 (Kamloops-Thompson)’s Trades and Transitions (TnT) department have announced they will be hosting an Industry Career Fair for students and employers on Wednesday, Apr. 20, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre.
The purpose of the event is to support students in grade 10 and 11 with their career exploration in the Trades and provide introductions to employers seeking part-time and summer students in the Trades.
Students who meet the event admission requirements will work with their school-based TnT coordinator to create a professional, trades-focused resume. Each student chosen to participate will also have a one-on-one resume workshop with the District Career Education Coordinator.
The Career Fair evening will consist of dinner, where students will be seated with local industry leaders in their preferred career cluster of construction, mechanical/industrial, or hospitality. During dinner, students will learn about the Youth Work in Trades program, where students working with a journeyperson or Red Seal Tradesperson can earn high school credits and potential at a $1,000 award. Following dinner, students will have a chance to network with employers to find a great work fit.
The deadline for students to register with their school-based TnT Coordinator for the event is Apr. 1.
Interested employers should contact Sheila Monkman by phone at 250-819-2472 or by email at smonkman@sd73.bc.ca.
