Bring your student’s to The Canada Career Week Fair!

The Canada Career Week Fair encourages career awareness and exploration. It is an opportunity for all Albertans, your grade 9 to 12 students in particular, to discover, understand and explore the steps involved in choosing a career path that is best suited for them.

The Ministry of Human Services and the Government of Canada encourage you to bring your class to the Canada Career Week Fair on Friday November 18th, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm

To ensure student safety, and manage traffic considerations, participating schools are requested to complete and return the Notice of Participation which you will find on the last page of the SCHOOL PARTICIPATION PACKAGE. You will then be sent a confirmation email, and student name-tags will follow. There is no cost in attending the fair.

As 3000 students are expected to attend the Canada Career Week Fair this year, un-registered classes may be asked to wait outside if the exhibit hall is full. Make sure you take the time to complete the Notice of Participation.

To have your school included on our mailing list and receive further information about participating in the Canada Career Week Fair, please send your contact information with the subject line “Add me to your CCW school mailing list” to clare@curriecom.com.
