Take Our Kids To Work - Grade 9 Students
Dear Parents/Guardians and Grade 9 Students,
Take Our Kids to Work (TOKW) Day is a unique initiative designed to provide Grade 9 students with invaluable insights into the world of work. It aims to assist students in considering future career paths by offering them the opportunity to observe a work environment for one day.
On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, Grade 9 students will have the chance to spend the day at a workplace of a parent/guardian, relative, friend or volunteer. Alternatively, they can choose career-related activities to explore either at home or within the school environment. It is a day dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of various career options and pathways.
The Students Commission of Canada is the new organization that supports this program and offers resources for educators and students. The 2024 TOKW Theme is Breaking Barriers, Transforming Communities.
To share the plans for your child on November 6, please complete the following google form by Friday, November 1: WCI Take our Kids to Work Day 2024
