As part of the Ministry of Education鈥檚 Pathways Program, Grades 6-8 HCDSB students from across Halton took part in a hands-on Career Exploration Day at Country Heritage Park in Milton.
Students were able to gain real-world experience in the skilled trades through this learning initiative 鈥� helping them to discover their strengths, interests, and future pathways.
鈥淭he more experiences they have, the better informed they are,鈥� said HCDSB Experiential Learning Consultant John Dietrich. 鈥淎nd we always say, 鈥楲isten, you can come and take part in these experiences.
