Welcome HDSB Grade 7 Students and Educators!
Explore the Trades! is a virtual event for all grade 7 students and their teachers to inform, inspire, and raise the profile of the skilled trades as a rewarding and challenging career pathway for our students. Today you will learn more about what the skilled trades and technologies are all about, the wide range of career possibilities they have to offer, and what next steps you can take to explore your options in the trades. We hope you enjoy every minute of this virtual experiential learning and pathway planning event.
