GTHS Students Explore Career Options at NAIT

Several Grand Trunk High School (GTHS) Grade 10 and Grade 11 students were invited to NAIT's first School of Energy and Natural Resources' Immersive Experience, providing a day-long exploration of various programs within the school. The experience is designed to give high school students a firsthand look at post-secondary education options within the energy and natural resources field.

GTHS students selected two sessions from a choice of nine career paths and got to participate in a showcase of the program, its career paths, and hands-on experience in these polytechnic pursuits: Forestry Management, Water & Wastewater Management, Laboratory & Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Chemical Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Alternative Energy, Power Engineering, Environmental Monitoring & Assessment, and Conservation Biology.

The majority of students had recently finished a unit on Energy and Technology in Science 10, and this day aligned with a number of Science 10 content and concepts. Students remarked on both the valuable information, the eye-opening experiences, and the fun they had from this experience such as learning about possible career paths and post-secondary plans.
