The committee sends out invitations to public, catholic and private high schools targeting grade 10, 11 and 12 students and classes in the SGB region.
The career expo will showcase various employment sectors including: Accounting/Finance, Advanced Manufacturing, Aviation, Communications, Construction, Education, Emergency Services, Employment Resources, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Food Service, Health and Wellness, Life Science, the Military, Skilled Trades, Technology, Tourism and more. Exhibitors that hire student’s, bring on co-op students or are looking for student volunteers are also clearly identified in the career expo area.
The current planned breakout sessions running throughout the day include Talking Post-Secondary, Talking Trades, OSAP, Building Your Brand, Be Your Own Boss including a panel of Entrepreneurs, Networking, Stress Management, Military Careers and Job Practice Interview Opportunities.
The event committee includes volunteers, school staff, representatives from the SGB campus of Georgian College, Tracks, the Rural Ontario Medical Program, Blue Mountain Resort, The Talent Switch and the South Georgian Bay Small Business Enterprise Centre.
The South Georgian Bay Youth Career Expo aims to not only showcase regional employment opportunities but also to expose our youth to a host of interesting and viable career choices that will bring them back to Live, Work and Play in South Georgian Bay!
