Trades Career Exploration for the Youth

  • Sooke Public Library 6671 Wadams Way Sooke, BC, V9Z 0A4 Canada (map)

Welcome to Sooke's first "Discover a Career in the Skilled Trades" Info Night! Our first meeting will focus on youth and the rewarding careers in the skilled trades.

Are you a teenager or a young adult and get asked "what do you want to do when you graduate?" or "what do you want to be when you grow up?". You've considered getting into the skilled trades but you're unsure of the career options? Or you are a parent and would like to help your youth navigate through this process, then this event is for you!

We will be discussing:

  • Overview of skilled trades career options

  • Overview of the current job availability

  • What employers are seeking when hiring youth

"Discover a Career in the Skilled Trades" Info Night series is hosted by Maki Morriss, owner of Riverstone Recruiting. Maki has a diverse background in skilled trades recruiting and actively participates in initiatives to promote skilled trades and support youth entering the workforce. She can be contacted via LinkedIn or email at maki@riverstonerecruiting.ca

This event is FREE and please register by June 22nd.

To support our community, please bring a non-perishable item(s) for the Sooke Food Bank if you are able to.
