Trent Out Loud EMSB  2024 Education and Career Fair
Montréal - Monday, October 28, 2024

More than 2,000 Secondary V students attended the 24th annual English Montreal School Board Career Fair on Wednesday, October 23, and Thursday, October 24, at St. Pius X Career Centre in Ahuntsic (9955 Papineau).  Jack Dym of Pipe and Piling Supplies Ltd was the event’s title sponsor. 

On the evening of October 23, the Education and Career Fair was open to the community at large. Organizers noted that this was a good opportunity for parents to attend with their children (Grades 9, 10, and 11) as they look towards post-secondary education options in a one-stop shopping experience. There were nearly 1,000 people in attendance.

Several on-air personalities from the media were on hand to talk to students about careers in this field and serve as guest emcees. They included Sean Henry, host of CBC Radio Daybreak; Mark Bergman from The Beat 92.5 FM Morning Show; Brayden Jagger Haines from Global Montreal; Lauren Fernandez from CTV Montreal; and Trent Out Loud, a podcaster and program show host on CFQR AM 600 Radio.  

In-Depth Exposure to Educational Opportunities
The Student Services and Adult Education and Vocational Services (AEVS) Departments of the EMSB coordinated this event. The main objective is to provide students with an in-depth exposure to the various educational opportunities available to them.  All students took part in a brief general information session in the St. Pius X Career Centre auditorium. Students then had the chance to visit the various exhibition/information booths staffed by representatives from English Vocational Training Centres, CEGEPS, Universities, and some private business Colleges. The Montreal Police Department and the Canadian Coast Guard were also represented.
