“The positive experience that these students have during their programming make post-secondary education real to them and their lives. Staying in school, continuing their education and pursuing their career aspirations become a concrete part of their lives and their plans.
Career Trek, through its involvement with the students’ local communities and schools and with their parents on ‘family days,’ attempts to build and informed support network that focuses on making college/university education a viable option for these youth.
Our social and economic health as a city and a province depends upon an educated citizenry. Reaching out to at-risk youth in concrete ways that increase the likelihood of their continuing with their education is essential if we are to have the educated people we need for the knowledge-based economy of today. Career Trek is a unique and successful means of accomplishing this important task. It deserves our support.” – Vice-President, Training Enterprises
