Trades!

            Today, all grade 10 students in Planning/Planification 10 and grade 11 students in Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11 went to Sungod to learn about different trades. This event was supported by the Delta School District, the Corporation of Delta, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), Vancouver Community College (VCC) and British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). This event had multiple booths from KPU, BCIT and VCC, all covering different jobs. Representatives explained the many careers and had demonstrations and interactive activities for the students. Mechanical engineering, electrical, cooking, agriculture, horticulture and hairdressing were all covered, as well as many more. This was Delta's first Trade and Technical Career Fair, and hopefully, they will continue so that students can be educated about the numerous professions.
