Tour of the Trades

On Tuesday November 10th, 25 Grade 11 and 12 students taking either electricity, auto or carpentry at Danforth accompanied Mr. Ware and Ms. Romani on a Tour of the Trades!  The day was multi-parted with the morning kicking off at Centennial College and the afternoon taking place at George Brown College.

At Centennial College students immersed themselves in programs related to Auto Body, Auto Service, Trucks and Coaches, and Aviation.  They had a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with experts in the field.

In the afternoon the group continued on to George Brown where they started with a general tour of the campus, and continued to tour plumbing, electrical and carpentry facilities along with specific HVAC sites.  There they discussed different programs they could take in the trades and had current college students speaking to them about their experiences in the various programs and their involvement in campus life.  Overall, the day was a huge success with students taking back with them an abundance of information to consider in making their post-secondary choices.
