In collaboration with the Halton Industry Education Council (HIEC) and the Industry Education Council (IEC) Hamilton, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board is pleased to support a new Ministry of Education initiative to provide career coaching to Grades 9 and 10 students.
You are invited to share your career journey with our students, providing them with valuable insights into potential career paths and the essential skills required for success.
From HIEC:
“Imagine if career exploration started with a simple conversation. HIEC is doing just that through the Ontario's Career Lab by transforming the way Grade 9 and 10 students discover their futures. Through engaging small-group sessions, students connect with professionals from a wide range of sectors who share their personal insights and real-world experiences. This dynamic exchange not only uncovers in-demand industries and local opportunities but also empowers students to shape their own unique career paths. Funded by the Government of Ontario, this first-of-its kind initiative is coming to our region. As a proud partner, IEC Hamilton is helping connect students with people who can share their career journeys and open doors to new possibilities. Join the conversation!
Your career story can inspire and ignite curiosity in our students. By sharing your experiences, you'll help broaden their perspective on the world of work, connect with fellow community members and play a vital role in shaping the next generation.”
PLEASE NOTE: This is a volunteer opportunity which involves a one-day commitment during school hours. Sessions will run from late April to early June 2025. All Career Coaches will be required to complete a Sterling Background Check.
