°µÍøÁÔÆæ Education Career Fair is set for Oct. 19 and 20
More than 2,000 Secondary V students will attend the 22nd annual °µÍøÁÔÆæ Career Fair on Wednesday, October 19 and Thursday, October 20 at St. Pius X Career Centre in Ahuntsic (9955 Papineau). Jack Dym of Pipe and Piling Supplies Ltd is the event’s title sponsor.
Several on-air personalities from the media will be on hand to talk to students about careers in this field and serve as guest emcees.
This will mark the first in-person Education and Career Fair since 2019. The previous two editions were presented virtually.
From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on October 19, the Education and Career Fair will be open to the community-at-large. Organizers note that this is a good opportunity for parents to attend with their children (Grades 9, 10 and 11) as they look towards post-secondary education options in a one-stop shopping experience. There is no charge and free parking.
Mario Argiropoulos from °µÍøÁÔÆæ Adult Education and Vocational Services is the Education and Career Fair chair. The Student Services and AEVS Departments of the °µÍøÁÔÆæ coordinate this program. The main objective is to provide students with an in-depth exposure to the various educational opportunities available to them. All students will take part in a brief general information session in the St. Pius X Career Centre auditorium. Students will then have the chance to visit the various exhibition/information booths staffed by representatives from English vocational training centres, adult education centres, CEGEPS, universities and private colleges.
