Level Up! Skilled Trades Career Fairs Are Back, Better Than Ever, And Taking Place Across The Province From September 12 to November 28

• Our government is expanding the Level Up! Skilled trades careers fairs to more cities this fall, including Barrie, Cobourg, Cornwall, Kitchener, Niagara Falls, North Bay, and South Porcupine.
• By expanding these career fairs to seven new cities across Ontario, we will be able to give over 35,000 students the chance to learn about the most cutting-edge, in-demand careers in the country.
• These career fairs give students (in grades 7 to 12), parents, and young jobseekers the chance to literally try their hand at Ontario’s 144 skilled trades through interactive, hands-on activities, to see what they’re passionate about.
• These career fairs also help teachers better understand the world of opportunity that the skilled trades can offer their students, especially the ones who prefer learning by doing and who may not be the right fit for university.
• Because we know that university is not the only path to success: a career in the skilled trades offers financial independence, and the chance to build the world around you. 
• With 1 in 3 workers nearing retirement, we need more young people to start a career in the trades – we don’t have time to waste.
