Youth Discover the 

Trades Program 

Youth Discover the Trades Programs will get you talking about trades. The programs vary from one-day events with local tradespeople to regular classroom activities that incorporate trades thinking and skill building. Students learn about what a trade is and why trades are awesome! 

Your project must offer hands-on trade experiences for students in grades 5 through 10. It should include additional classroom learning both before and after the event. 

Project approvals are subject to funding availability.
