On November 4, 30 grade nine students had the opportunity to explore their postsecondary futures as Niagara College welcomed them to its Welland Campus for Take Our Kids to Work Day.
The morning program introduced students to Niagara College, offering an overview of the College and highlighting the diverse range of programs, career pathways and opportunities available.
Students got their first glimpse of college life through an interactive experience hosted by the Audio Media Production (AMP) program team, including faculty members Dutch Vandenberg and Bruce Gilbert, alongside second-year AMP students.
The AMP team welcomed the student group to the theatre to view examples of NC student work. The experience continued with a tour of the radio station where observed a live-on-air, student-run broadcast. They explored the film area for a demonstration of the green screen before taking a look inside the mobile television truck.
In the afternoon, students had a chance to shadow their parent, guardian or NC sponsor to learn about other career paths.
The day was facilitated by Jill Cook, Human Resources Services Assistant, and Erika Ciolfi, Human Resources Advisor, who helped make the experience an engaging introduction to the many possibilities ahead.
