Conestoga events

"TNT Day" provides female students in grades 7 to 10 with the opportunity to learn and work in a college shop setting.

Students will take part in hands‐on activities related to careers in construction, engineering, architecture, and the industrial and motive power sectors. This experience will provide young women with exposure to the trades, promoting better informed academic pathways and career decisions.

These activities will be run by senior trades and technology students and apprentices under the direction of college faculty and in consultation with local secondary school teachers.

Students will also be introduced to the pathways from secondary school to apprenticeship and related college programs.

The Multiple Motive Power workshop will explore motive power outside of automotive service, such as heavy equipment operator, heavy equipment technician and truck and coach.

Time:
