Career Trek’s vision is straightforward: help build a Manitoba where everybody can realize their full career or educational potential.

We are a not-for-profit organization that helps young people – who would most benefit from our programming – to discover post-secondary education.

We offer kids hands-on experience in different careers, which gets them excited about one day going to university, college or taking part in an apprenticeship. It also helps them figure out what professions they would enjoy - and which ones they might not.

These are dedicated & enthusiastic kids...

We invite girls and boys as young as 10 to post-secondary institutions to try as many as 80 careers in 17 different fields. They later focus on one specific occupation and learn directly from industry professionals. After that, they can apply what they've learned by mentoring new participants. Career Trek also has programs specific to rural youth and young mothers.

We started small in 1996, but today our staff is 160 strong and we help more than 400 young people every year. Many of our Trekkers are the first in their family to go to university or college. And often they end up inspiring their parents to head back to school.

These are dedicated and enthusiastic kids who make our role at Career Trek a pleasure. We feel privileged to help them reach their potential.

Career Trek. Steps in the right direction.
