The Take Our Kids to Work program is organized by The Learning
Partnership, a not-for-profit organization of business people, educators, and
community leaders committed to creating challenging learning and career
opportunities for young people.
Over the past ten years, more than 1 million students and 75,000 workplaces
have participated in the Take Our Kids to Work program. The program
offers an authentic learning opportunity for grade 9 students and helps them
connect school, the world of work, and their own futures. It provides them with
a real-life experience in a work environment.
This year Wednesday, November 5 has been designated as Take Our Kids to
Work day across Canada. We encourage all federal organizations to welcome
grade 9 (Secondary 3 in Québec) students in their workplaces and to continue to
support this worthwhile initiative.
For additional information or for a copy of the Workplace Guide and/or the
Parent/Host Brochure, please visit Take Our Kids to Work website at www.takeourkidstowork.ca
