2013-2014 Career Conference

Welcome back to another year of learning with your child!  An important goal for the TDSB is that every grade 8 student and family will be equipped with the knowledge and information to make an informed and confident decision for choosing an appropriate secondary school program.  This is a process that requires a partnership between the student, parents/guardians, teachers, guidance counsellor and our secondary school representatives.  This partnership will help ensure that our students will have every opportunity for success as they transition to secondary school.  New for the 2013-2014 school year, our Grade 8 students will have an opportunity to take part in a very exciting Career Day experience.  The ER13 Family of Schools will be sponsoring a Career Conference at the Ontario Science Centre on October 1^st, 2013.  Students will explore a variety of career options and learn about various postsecondary pathways and fields of work at the Ontario Science Centre.  This Career Awareness Project is being designed to help students gain valuable career planning information.  Normally this type of conference is held in the spring; however the Guidance team decided that it would be best to hold the event prior to students making their choices about which secondary school or program they would like to attend.

Sincerely,

Mr. George

Guidance Counsellor ER13
