YES 2 IT provides an opportunity<br />
for youth to have a fun,<br />
hands-on, experience applying<br />
some of the skills used in a variety<br />
of trade careers while making<br />
connections with tradespersons<br />
in their community. In<br />
addition, classroom learning<br />
activities support the handson<br />
experience and parental involvement<br />
increases awareness<br />
of options and opportunities in<br />
the trades.<br />
Spencer points out these experiences<br />
are done in a safe environment.<br />
It also gives students<br />
some networking contacts if they<br />
decide they would like to pursue<br />
this farther along in their education<br />
(for instance by taking part<br />
in the secondary school apprenticeship<br />
program).<br />
