Workforce Strategy – Stage One

The goals of the Grand Erie Workforce Strategy – Stage One, are to provide students from grade 6 through 8 with the awareness, interest, confidence, employer exposure, experience and skills required to attain an entry level part-time employment during high school and progress through a rewarding and meaningful career. The successful implementation will:

  • Give parents, teachers and guidance counsellors a foundation for providing advice and support to students interested in a target sector
  • Destigmatize misunderstood sectors and workforce roles not requiring post-secondary education
  • Encourage students to pursue courses, ensure appropriate academic foundation and “keep doors open” to avoid impediments to future career opportunities
  • Gradually expose participating students to meaningful and cumulative awareness of a variety of sectors
  • Help students build confidence over time in their ability to build the skills required to successfully acquire an entry-level role
