CED Projects

Added: May 9th 2008 - Updated: June 19th 2008

Options

Options have provided annually approximately 2,500 Grade 10 high school students from Renfrew County and the Pontiac displays of exhibitors who were showing the high school students a first hand look at skilled trades and apprenticeships.

This highly interactive fair showcases a variety of career opportunities for today's youth. Throughout the day, students participate in six competitions of skills. The students compete in team carpentry, tire changing, hairstyling, small engines and culinary management.

Options is one of the key strategies to attract more high school students into the area of skilled trades and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program.
