Two events being planned to promote trades to parents and students in Grades 6 to 10
The City of Welland is teaming up with Niagara Catholic to promote careers in the trades.
Two events are scheduled to promote the trades to parents and students in grades six through ten.
The first event will take place Thursday night from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at Denis Morris Catholic High School in St. Catharines.
The second will take place on May 17 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. at Saint Michael Catholic High School in Niagara Falls.
Members of Welland's Economic Development team will be on hand for both events.
"We know there will be a shortage of skilled trades workers," said Lina DeChellis, manager of economic development. "Partnering with the Niagara Catholic and offering a line into what industries are looking for will hopefully shine a light on this very needed, lucrative career path."
"Niagara Catholic is excited to bring this event to our families and students with the participation of our industry partners. The knowledge that students, parents, and educators will learn from the associations and companies at these events is intended to better prepare students for their post-secondary decisions and highlight the viability of the apprenticeship pathway in our region," said Anthony Corrizzato, Niagara Catholic’s Experiential Learning Consultant.
