On Wednesday, November 1, 2023, Grade 9 students from Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic secondary schools will have the opportunity to spend the day job shadowing a parent/guardian, relative, or friend as part of Take Our Kids to Work™ (TOKW) day.

Launched in 1994 by The Learning Partnership, Take Our Kids to Work™ is a national coordinated experiential learning opportunity for Grade 9 students, offering them the chance to see and explore the world of work. The Students Commission of Canada (SCC) has taken over Take Our Kids to Work™ from The Learning Partnership, and has chosen the theme “Everyone Belongs Here” for this year’s event, as a sign of their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are responsible for selecting an appropriate workplace and making the arrangements for the student to attend. To participate, a parent consent form must be completed, signed by a parent/guardian and the student, and then returned to the school.
