TRADE AWARENESS 2009 EVENT:

Thanks to those who provided hands-on opportunities for the youth as well as information sessions regarding the trades.

Students participated in a variety of interactive activities and engaged in small group, captive audience sessions where they heard from workers in the trades speak about their field of expertise.  Sessions were 10 minutes in length which gave time for industry to talk about their field and students to ask questions.  The following attended the event this year:
