At the IEC Hamilton, we are aware of the importance of taking kids to work because of the significant benefits they will gain by exposing them to real work experience.

- It allows discussion of work experiences with their child.

- Helps make the connection between education and future paths.

Absolutely true for the Hamilton region! Career Conversations here wouldn't have the impact they do without the amazing contributions of volunteers who share their time, energy, and experience with Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board and Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board students!

To all our volunteers, Thank YOU for making future possibilities seem possible!

What if career exploration started with a conversation?

Because of Career Coach volunteers, it does.

Across Ontario, people from all industries, sectors, and career pathways are coming together - sharing their experiences, answering questions, and helping students see what’s possible, often for the very first time.

That collective impact only happens because of our volunteers.
