If you are new to the Skills world, need help to motivate fellow teachers, or you want to learn more about Skills Canada Alberta (SCA) competitions and exciting programs, this presentation is for you! This interactive presentation is important for CTF and CTS teachers, school administrators, counselors, and general teachers who teach career pathways to junior and senior high school students. Learn about the variety of educational programs that SCA has to offer such as Skills in the Classroom presentations, classroom Try-A-Trade® kits, and the junior high program Skills Exploration Day that encourages the use of empathy through design thinking. If you interact with students who are looking for an exciting career path, work well with their hands, or who want to enhance their future career opportunities, the Regional, Provincial, National, and WorldSkills competitions push students to perform at their highest level while creating projects that align with the Alberta Education CTS curriculum. Educators will also learn about an amazing field trip opportunity where students get to see over 45 trade and technology careers in action and participate in Try-A-Trades.
