About Us

Our programs are facilitated by business professionals, who volunteer their time and are trained in the course materials, to bring current business know-how to the students' learning experience. There is no charge to the schools or students to access these offerings. Instruction materials are purchased with the funds contributed by businesses, service organizations and citizens. These real-world programs were developed in conjunction with the Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines and compliment the Ministry's mandate to increase career preparedness for youth. Our goal is to reach each and every student in the Guelph/Wellington region at least once in their time as a student.
