Take our Kids to Work Day, presented by RBC Future Launch, is back for 2021! Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the event will be presented virtually again this year.
The Learning Partnership will provide educators with a range of virtual connections, allowing students to participate in Take Our Kids to Work Day on Wednesday, November 3. Pre-recorded and live virtual sessions will be shared directly with classroom teachers and students, to inspire an exciting, engaging day of career exploration.
The theme for Take Our Kids to Work Day 2021 is ‘You Belong Here.’ The day will begin with an inspiring 20-minute pre-recorded event. Students will hear from professionals from a range of workplaces, who will share messages of purpose and belonging, and bring to life the real-world skills that have led to their success.
The remainder of the day will feature five breakout sessions, led by business leaders across a range of roles and sectors. These sessions will be presented live on November 3rd and a recording will be available immediately afterwards. During these dynamic 20-minute sessions, students, and their parents, can engage with others across Canada to explore career education topics such, as diversity in the skilled trades, careers in technology, creativity at work, pathways to entrepreneurship, and the unsung heroes in science.
