On Friday, March 15th 2024 our High School Counseling Department hosted the 1st Annual Career On Wheels event. Our students went through four twenty minute sessions with professionals whose careers are on wheels - not your typical in a building at a desk job. Students were able to get first hand information from the professionals themselves. At some stations they were able to get hands-on experience with guidance from the professionals. This event fostered exposure to post-secondary pathways and making direct connections with various professionals within our community. We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who helped our students gain insight into post-secondary pathways that are not always talked about.
