MCA CAREERS WEEK | 7 – 11 March
The 2022 Careers Week program brought together a broad range of activities and resources to assist our students to explore a variety of study and career options. In addition to our Careers Expo, the 2022 program included an inaugural Careers Link Networking virtual event and Lunchbox Sessions, as well as a spotlight on having multiple careers in a lifetime through our “Match your Teacher” competition.
CAREERS WEEK | Careers Expo
Our students were given the opportunity to talk with local tertiary, apprenticeship and work pathway providers. The boys loved testing out the local Police, Ambulance and Fire service vehicles and the delicious treats from the food trucks.
