OTTAWA — Skills Canada is partnering with ChatterHigh and Let’s Talk Science to present the Let’s Talk Careers Competition which provides students the opportunity learn about the vast career possibilities in the skilled trades and technologies.
Schools and students will have the chance to win prizes and bursaries by participating in the fourth annual Let’s Talk Careers: Canada’s Most Informed School and Student Competition, a Canada-wide competition for career discovery. The competition will run in two rounds – one from Oct. 26 to Dec. 4 and the second from April 12 to May 26, 2021.
Each day, participating students from across Canada will answer a 10-question quiz, which will allow them to explore thousands of career options they may not have been exposed to and have the opportunity to earn points towards their personal leaderboards and for their school.
Early career awareness informs and shapes student attitudes and decisions about high school and post-secondary pathways. Skills Canada will bring added focus on careers in the skilled trades to this year’s competition, states a release.
“It’s critical that Canadian youth remain curious, keep asking questions and explore diverse options for their futures. New careers emerge every day, many of which need STEM skills, including those in the skilled trades. Let’s Talk Science is committed to helping youth keep their options open and this competition offers an impactful way for them to explore diverse pathways,” said Dr. Bonnie Schmidt, president and founder of Let’s Talk Science, in a statement.
