On Wednesday, November 2, the City of Mississauga will welcome approximately 100 grade nine students as part of national Take Our Kids to Work Day.
“Over the years, we’ve had a lot of success inspiring youth to learn more about rewarding careers at the City of Mississauga,” said Sharon Willock, Director, Human Resources. “There are so many possibilities here and students will have the opportunity to meet our passionate staff and learn about careers in fire, security, transit and many more during their visit.”
Students will start the day by taking part in hands-on activities and a career information fair. They will spend the afternoon job shadowing at various City facilities.
