The start of the school year for new Grade 9 students is always an exciting time, but this fall has been full of unexpected challenges. The one thing students can still count on is the chance to kick start their career planning. The Learning Partnership’s event Take Our Kids to Work Day, powered by RBC Future Launch, is bigger, better and going virtual for the first time in its 26-year history on November 4. This year’s event brings live virtual content to even more students, educators and workplaces across Canada through a full day of inspiring programming.

In previous years, student participation in Take Our Kids to Work Day relied on a parent or educator’s connection to a participating workplace. Bringing Take Our Kids to Work Day into a virtual environment opens up the doors for even more students to explore the world of work.

Kick-starting the day is an inspiring and uplifting 20-minute cornerstone event Your Future, Now with RBC Olympian Erin Latimer. Students can then choose from among four live 20-minute breakout sessions hosted by industry experts in skilled trades, finance and technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and healthcare.

Take Our Kids To Work Day 2020 is powered by lead sponsor RBC Future Launch in support of their commitment to helping young Canadians prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.
