A group of our grade 10 and 11 students attended the Construction Career Expo on Wednesday, May 11. The Manitoba Construction Career Expo is an annual event held at Red River Exhibition Place, designed to encourage students in Grade 9 to 12 to explore their future in construction. The exciting and extremely popular Expo features an entirely interactive experience with hands-on demonstrations in over 30 skilled trades in construction, including masonry, carpentry, roofing, concrete finishing, electrical wiring and painting, among others.
Students also had the chance to interact with skilled journey people and learn more about Manitoba’s construction industry from construction companies and trade associations.With Manitoba’s construction climate creating a wealth of career opportunities, and the current shortage of skilled tradespeople, now is the time to introduce students to the vast, profitable, and rewarding careers in construction!
