Kindersley’s Career Day was a success!

By Joan Janzen

The Kindersley Chamber of Commerce held its second annual Career Day on Wednesday, March 22nd, at Kindersley Composite School (KCS). Thirty vendors from the area set up their booths in the school gym and were available from 9:00 in the morning until 7:00 that evening.

Kevin Martin from the Chamber said the day went very well. “We had a great crowd, and all the vendors who signed up came out.” There was good attendance from the general public, as well as from the student body.

Both Vold’s Collision and Sask. Power had interactive displays, which the students really enjoyed, and Fountain Tire showed the students how to manually change a tire.

Sask. Health Authority held four different presentations in the classroom featuring four different occupations. In addition, Community Futures conducted a couple of presentations on entrepreneurship.

“I was talking to some of the vendors, and they were quite impressed with the quality of questions they were getting,” Kevin said. It was evident that students were beginning to consider career options for their future.

In addition to KCS students, young people from Kerrobert school came to check out the Career Day. “We weren’t able to secure bussing arrangements since it wasn’t a School Division-sanctioned event,” Kevin explained. “Hopefully, by 2025 we can get it to be a school division-sanctioned event. That’s our next big goal.”
