About This Activity
During our summer camp experiences, educators will immerse themselves alongside students, adopting the perspective of a learner with educator insight. Engaging fully in all activities and skills, they'll also serve as vigilant overseers for student safety. Through these paid externship opportunities, teachers will glean firsthand understanding of the skills, hurdles, and potential paths in diverse STEM fields. Our aim is for educators to re-enter classrooms invigorated and equipped to infuse their teaching with newfound knowledge and enthusiasm, igniting inspiration in their students. Are you ready to turn your passion into a promising career? Look no further than the Building and Construction Trades Summer Camp. This intensive 12-day program, running from June 13th to June 28th, 2024, offers high school juniors and seniors, regardless of gender, a unique opportunity to dive headfirst into the world of skilled trades while earning a competitive wage. Our skill-based, hands-on, earn-and-learn program is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. The camp guarantees an immersive and interactive environment, fostering active participation from students who are both encouraged and expected to engage fully in all activities. Students will be evaluated on safety, performance, production, attendance/punctuality, and attitude just like in a real apprenticeship. Tradespeople will engage in hands-on activities directly linked to authentic workplace scenarios, guided by professionals from our trade unions. Beyond mastering essential trade skills, participants will engage in: • Safety workshops with MIOSHA • Financial literacy seminars • Employability skill development, including resume building • Apprenticeship seminar • Business immersion trips
