November 3, 2004 is National Take
Our Kids To Work Day. If you have a child in Grade 9 or "3e secondaire", this is an opportunity for him
or her to learn more about your job. We encourage all federal organizations to welcome students in their workplaces and
to continue to support this worthwhile initiative.
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 1.5 million young Canadians and tens of thousands of
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 3 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.
