Career Conversations
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board, in partnership with HIEC and the Ontario Ministry of Education and delivered locally by the Business and Education Partnership of Waterloo Region, is excited to be bringing career conversations with industry professionals into our high school communities. This is your chance to share what you’ve learned during your career journey, open students’ eyes to new opportunities, and help them feel confident about what comes next.
We’re looking for career coaches from every industry and background—people who can help Grade 9 & 10 students discover what’s possible and understand the skills they’ll need along the way. If mentoring sounds like your kind of thing or you’d like to learn more about the program, we’d love for you to sign up now.
