The Business & Education Partnership is excited to announce a new career exploration event, Explore Your Future!  We know that parents can have a significant influence over the career exploration journey of their children and often times, the parents do not have the most up to date information about the labour market and/or they don’t know where to access the resources.

Explore Your Future is an event for youth (grades 7 – 12), their parents/guardians, as well as for educators who assist youth with career planning and exploration.  The format will be a mix of exhibitors and breakout sessions.  The exhibitors will be employers, community organizations, and education/training institutions.  This is not a career fair, but rather an opportunity for youth and parents to talk with local employers about future career options; talk with community organizations about services/programs available to prepare youth for their careers; and talk with education/training institutions about their programs.  The vision for this event is to provide youth with information and resources that they can use to make their career decisions, and to provide youth and parents with a springboard to continue the career exploration conversation at home.

Date:                    Wednesday April 12, 2017

Time:                   6:00 – 9:00pm

Location:             Bingemans Conference Centre (425 Bingemans Centre Drive, Kitchener, ON.)
