Passport to Prosperity

Passport to Prosperity is a program that encourages Renfrew County employers to get involved in helping high school students make the transition from school to the workplace.

Several opportunities for employers to get involved are:

  • Career talks through school visits
  • Mentorship or job shadowing; tours of local businesses
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Co-operative education placements
  • Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program placements

A database of 542 interested employers has been developed for Renfrew County high school co-op teachers. Employers are also recognized by their community for helping support education and economic development within Renfrew County.
