The Learning Partnership has provided the following information on Take Our Kids to Work Day 2020: We’re excited to share that Take Our Kids to WorkTM Day will take place on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. This year, in light of COVID-19, we’re evolving Take Our Kids to Work Day – the most recognized career exploration event in Canada – to offer virtual experiences. It will be easier than ever before to engage students (and their parents) in robust skills and career exploration experiences to ensure they feel better prepared for the ever-changing future. With your support, we’ll be able to connect many more students with workplaces, providing them with meaningful experiences that help shape their futures and providing educators with content that can be integrated in your career education curriculum. We can’t wait to share more with you! But for now, November 4, 2020 - save the date! P.S. Please don’t hesitate to contact tokw@thelearningpartnership.ca if you have any questions.
