Options open at P.A. career fair
More than 2,500 students converged on the Prince Albert exhibition grounds yesterday for a glimpse into their possible futures.
The sixth-annual Opening Doors to Tomorrow Career/Job Fair played host to students from more than 30 schools and included displays from 57 different organizations, committee chair Patricia Yeske said. The event gives students from Prince Albert and the surrounding area an opportunity to learn about various career opportunities, she said, and lets them participate in some hands-on experiences to give them a real taste of the various jobs.
“It gives them the opportunity to see beyond the walls of their own schools,” Yeske said. “We hope that they’ve made some connections and are looking towards the future.”
Although the fair included displays from plenty of local employers and post-secondary institutions, some of the most popular booths were operated by workers from various emergency services.
